Hi there! Another harpist from Wales, currently playing the 34str Alyssa harp from the Early Music Store. Mainly play renaissance/mediæval but love arranging modern songs.
And for the record the harps made by Mid-East MFG arn’t all that bad as I have 3 in my collection!

Hi there,

My name is Patricia D., from Newry, Co Down, N. Ireland. I play the Irish Harp made by ‘Telynauteifi Harps’ in Wales.

I wish you well with your count.

Saludos,

I am classically trained harpist from NY, but I’m currently living in Mexico where I am playing with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Yucatán in Merida, Mex.
I play an ebony Lyon and Healy style 30 and just bought an electric blue sharpsicle for fun!

I am a harpist in Maple Valley, WA. I play a natural maple Troubadour V. I was a late beginner, (mid 30’s). I love the harp!

I’m a harpist from Boston, MA, USA, though I play throughout the New England area. I play a lovely Camac Aziliz, as well as a cute little green Flatsicle (by Tasty Harps) that travels most places with me.

Here via Twitter, good luck with the count!

Hi,

I’m from Europe, the Netherlands. I live in Zwolle, in the north-east from Holland. I play a Triplett Signature and I hope to buy this year a real Clàrsach Wire Strung harp. I play mostly Irish and Breton music. And I play a lot by ear.

I am originally from Philadelphia, but live in Leeds, England now. I play a Dusty Strings FH32 and a Dusty Strings FH26. I took weekly harp lessons with Kathy DeAngelo for over 10 years (I also play fiddle–taught by Kathy).

I play mostly traditional Irish tunes (jigs, reels, hornpipes, airs, etc.) by ear and learn by ear (I can read music and do for left hand ideas as well as when I get stuck on learning melody).

Good luck with your count–not sure why you are doing it, but why not, I guess?

My name is Kristine K., and I bounce back and forth between two homes: California & New Jersey. I found out about your count from the director of a wonderful organization, Bedside Harp (in Bensalem, PA). You may find several responses from this group at your website!

My harp is a 26-string Canadian beauty made by Tat Stanley of Kingston, Ontario. I only own the one. My harp is a workhorse because I use it for Harp Therapy.

With time, money, and a little convincing, I’m hoping to have a floor harp built by John Westling.

Good luck with your count!
