    Good luck with your studies. Harp is very beautiful instrument. But sure looks hard to play to me. I play organ and piano, viola, string bass... never tried the harp..and there are not many good harpist around either.....nice peice and performance for only 3 weeks study I would say.

    Thx a lot for the comment, it seems like you play a lot of instruments, you should then try the harp, I had never tried another instrument before (only piano initially) and it felt great.

    Very beautiful song and skill. Hard to believe such nice music from 3 weeks of study. My first thought was that you must play some other instruments but based on your last post sounds like a short while with piano. Really I'm very impressed!

    I have a Dusty Strings 36 fully levered. In 9 years I've learned to change strings if they break, keep it tuned and dust it off (occasionally)

    Do you have a teacher or are you self taught? Please keep us informed about your progress and where we might here you in concert and buy your recordings!

    If you're not already aware of her check out Cheryl Ann Fulton~ Once and Future Harp. She plays very old harps. Excellent!

    I found Cheryl A Fultons website and a youtube video. enjoy!

    Thx for your comment, I can imagine how much you can learn about the instrument after 9 nine years.. (I am sure that you must have some great harp skills after playing this time).
    To answer your question, I am a selftaught learner (for piano as well).
    I have checked the video of Cheryl A Fultons and she played wonderfully, thx for the sharing.

    Wow, that's really amazing! last night I went to watch the famous HarpFusion group from the University of Arizona. They're amazing!! I've played a harp before, but man, those pedals take more coornation than the organ~!!
    Good luck with your studies!

    Wow. Never played harp. Looks very hard. Sounds very good to me, especially for someone only playing for 3 weeks! Amazing!
