I was in southern Wales a handful of years ago. Lovely place.

@NEWCommunityHarp glad you liked Wales. I'm in the south east. Did you get to try a Welsh harp while you were here?

Nope. It's super easy if you read music.

A harp

@@NEWCommunityHarp Thank you

@@user-gn2xy7ul8f You're welcome

Fooled by the Welsh.

Thanks I plan on it.

Thank you. This is a small harp that I built. It has nylon strings that are tuned like the white keys of a piano. All the red strings are C, and the black are F.

Aww. Thanks.

Thanks

Thanks so much!

Thanks! My larger harp sounds even better.

Sheet music for the song is for sale here a.co/d/0bMVIaS6 If you have Kindle unlimited I think it's currently on free preview for a while still.

@@NEWCommunityHarp thanks

That was a pretty nice day! The other time I recorded out there it was a bit hot and still.

Me too! :)

Very cool.

The book is in alphabetical order for ease of finding songs. When assembling the video, I put the songs in an order that I thought musically flowed better for a casual listener. If you'd like I could upload another video where the songs are in alphabetical order to play along with.

That really would be great!

Try this link. It's all the same songs, but in the order the book goes. ua-cam.com/video/CJjtdsDWbx0/v-deo.html

The image capture speed of the camera must be close enough to the standing frequency of the vibrating string to cause that effect.

Hi!

Thanks!

You know, I don't think I gathered any specific Cornish songs. I'll have to rectify that when I publish my next book of songs from the British Isles. Any good suggestions?

There's one posted now. I'm uploading 3 a week. Come back and check it out.

I wasn't aware of him until now. I've been listening to British folk rock for years (Steeleye Span, Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, Blackbeard's Tea Party, etc). It looks like he's the Breton side. I'll have to dig deeper on him.

I met Mark Harmer once!

@@andyharpist2938 Very cool. I loved watching him arrange Parry's Delight.

Thank you!

I find lots of songs sound lovely on harp. I'm working on some sea shantys coming up.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks. I'm in it for the long haul for sure. Not going anywhere anytime soon!

@@NEWCommunityHarp keep doing beautiful music. It truly is. In a world devoid of beauty (at least in my immediate context it is devoid of beauty) we need all the beautiful things we can get. May your music be that light that shines hope upon the hearts of those who live in darkness, a beacon to head towards and a worthy thing to aspire to emulate (to replicate, to imitate, to do again in similar fashion). Many Blessings.

Glad you like it!

Thanks! The Welsh have some great songs.

Thanks!

Thanks. I just started posting a few months back. It's slowly but surely growing.

Thanks!

Yeah, not the best font for a double r, but what can one do?

@@NEWCommunityHarp I wasn’t trying to pick on you. Just the font.

@@FirstnameLastname-rc8yd No offense taken. It is very funny looking with that font! :)

Its one of my new favorites.

I play just about everything in C (or Am). I lead a group of harpists, some who don't have levers. So I tend to transcribe everything so there's no sharps or flats. I've published a few books of lead sheets all in C or Am if you're interested.

This is a very convenient size harp to play and learn on. I play with a group of harpists, and we occasionally play public shows. This size is easy to transport to those events. I've played a larger harp a few times, and they have much more room to play accompaniment with, since there's more strings for the left hand to use. I'd love a bigger harp for keeping at home, but they're expensive. Perhaps one day I'll acquire one. For now, I just need to be a bit creative to fill out my sound.

I have a medieval and a fantasy playlist if you want to check them out. Might be a few more good ones in there.
