Lever harp – Celtic, sacred, and original music. Performer, composer, and teacher. As of this month (August, 2009) I have been playing for 10 years. It’s been wonderful.

Mine is a Highland lever harp with 26 strings. Her name is Nightingale Dreamer, and I’m just a beginner. Guess I’m really not a harpist . . . just a harper, or a wannabe.

I play a Dusty Strings lever harp (32 string.) I play mainly to keep my senior mind from getting too rusty – and this is a fun way to do it.

What a lovely idea to count the harpists of the world! I started harp lessons after retirement and though I am an amateur harpist I love having added harp playing to my list of hobbies. I have a Voyageur folk harp and play it daily for the solace and serenity it brings to me. I am not a performer by nature, but have done a few benefit concerts with our local Harp Circle.
