Hi Mark! I just found your videos as I’ve been looking for some simple beginner pieces for sight reading. I saw your videos that offered PDF freebies have various older tunes but when I clicked on it, it seems like the links are dead. If you could post them somewhere, that would be wonderful. May you be well, peaceful, and at ease. 🙏 Thank you for sharing your music.

lovely! God bless your work! I play a 22 string harp from Israel. Janet gave me your name. You are famous now! ;-)

Oh my goodness Mark! You've helped me to take a recent song I'm working on to a higher level! Thank you tremendously!

This is one of the most beautiful arrangements of this song for harp that I have heard. Thank you for making and sharing it! 👍👍👍

How to download the free pdf sheet?

Thank you ! I have a dble harp n wanted a kind simple start on it to encourage myself. Thank you !

Ooooh, I hope I will be able to do that someday. Thanks for the lesson.

Good Job thanks for sharing your experience, with Harps.🎶🌈😎

Hi Mark! Thank you for the lovely sound! I have a question, is it possible to have lower octave on the left and higher octave on the right? Can I tune this way? I'm just a curious beginner playing Harpsicle for now but really interested in double-strung harp. I would like to buy another one with more strings but I would like to know if double strung could be an option to reduce the space needed to store...

Praise him with the harp, and that’s exactly what you did! Beatutiful!

I recently bought my four year old a pendant ocarina to tootle around on for her birthday. As it turns out. I LOVE playing it. My longtime dream has been to play the harp, but in the interim, since a harp is so far out of my price range as to be impossible even to do a rent-to own right now, this little ocarina is bringing king a lot of enjoyment (don’t worry, she gets to play it, too 🤣), so much so that I’m considering just going ahead and getting one for myself (larger than pendant) in a couple months just so I can play a wider range of music. I don’t use any books or instructions, just have found my way around the instrument and playing by ear. I’ve had a lot of music in my life and always ended up feeling like a failure at it. Piano, violin, ukulele, but this time I’m only playing it because it’s fun not because I have to, and it’s healing my relationship with making music, which I was beginning to feel was permanently ruined.

So pretty, peaceful. This was posted a month ago and just showed on my feed and I am subscribed. I will have to specifically search in future. Again thus is so pretty!

I love the core melody. You've added too much froo froo and tsken away from its simple besuty.

I love hearing you play, Mark. Like the other lady said, your music goes straight to the heart. Janet

perfect! ❤😍🇧🇷

I can attest that learning to play the harp, actually saved my life. Admittedly they are not the cheapest of instruments to buy, let alone get lessons! But a second hand harp (always by a cheep old one rather than a cheep new one😉) is no more expensive than a gym membership or yoga classes, and much less than therapy!! My harp opened a door into a whole new way of seeing and listening. It led me to finding my musical voice ( I’m not talking about singing) and has been a refuge in hard times. Not for nothing is the Harp considered to be the queen of instruments, and known for producing some of the most therapeutic sounds. In my experience, it is not possible to play the harp when one is angry or upset. One might start that way, but within seconds one achieves “alpha” and calm reigns.

Lovely Mark. It draws my heart right into the music. Thank you for sharing.

Love the sound; thank you Mark ❤

Yes, that was so pretty and very calming. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Just beautiful, Mark. I hope you don't get tired of me saying how your music conveys such calm and peace. Thank you so much.

Beautiful! I have always loved this song. Thank you for posting it here on your channel. Your harp playing is always lovely, 🥰🎶

Your harp has a beautiful tone to it, well played.

One of my very favorite hymns, and beautifully played, thank you.

Thanks for your videos, Mark, I have been binge watching your channel! I’m very interested in buying a double strung harp, do you have any tips on where to look for them used?

i got my second hand double Brea in December, to say it's just pure joy and love would be an understatement 😌 i mostly improvise but regardless we make a great team with my Brea 😌 saving for a 34 string so can get more technical one day but gosh ive lived to play harp even just for my dog and cats ❤

PS what is cross strung?

beautiful, and i agree with your take on musical instruments being a privilege

I´m glad that you are back!

Lovely, Mark! Very inspiring.

As an untalented person who still enjoys whatever pretty sounds I can make on my little double strung harp, I totally agree. My little grandson fell asleep in my arms listening to your lovely music today. Thank you, Mark. Janet

Very pretty.

Kalimba! Sweet and goes everywhere!

Love this, it's Peggy from central northern Michigan. Glad you are playing and posting again.

I Just got a mini harp kit from Waring. Just found your videos. I appreciate your tips for the Very Beginner.

Nice informative video! I can relate. I am an oboist, taught music in my younger years, and I love instruments and making music. I acquired a used 26 string harp and started learning to play through video courses, and then bought a Fireside harp kit and built it, and now just acquired another small used harp called Sassafrass, made with fiberglass. (All within 2 years!). I added a strap to the fireside just like you did, only I still have a hard time holding it. It shifts as I play on it. The strap at the top slips off the top of the harp and the harp drops while I play on it. Does this happen to you or anyone else reading this?

Thank you, that was very helpful!

So beautiful. I have enjoyed your playing in the past; lovely to have you sharing your gift by recording again!

I love this one also Mark. You play it so beautifully. I often play it with Day by Day.

So glad to hear you playing and posting the small double again. Lovely! God bless!

Hello Mark from Upnorth Michigan… been a very long time since I’ve heard you play this Brittany. And one of my favorite hymns. I sold my double strung and would love to have one again some day in a floor model I don’t have to hold or balance. Beautifully played thank you 🦋💕🦋.

So glad to hear you play again and it was so meaningful to me today. Of course, God is so good, He blesses us with music when we need it!!! Sending blessings of peace, joy and good health back to you and family. 🪷

So glad you’re back, Mark. Thank you for sharing your lovely music and spirit with us.

glad you're still hear, must be busy these days? do you still sell whistles? hope you're well

Mark! You're back! Our dear brother in Christ, we have missed you. I needed this beautiiful hymn today. Thank you so much. God has given you such a gift. May He bless you and your family.

Thank you; peaceful moments ❤

Wow! Tuning the harp depends on what the majority keys are used in the worship. Most people sing in b's, in my church tuning in key of Eb is necessary in playing most of the worship that's available. I'm in transition from pedal to lever. When playing a song that's in a different tune, one can just do glissoandros in the b's ones harp is already set for. Revelation 14 "Harpist playing their Harps"! God Bless!

So happy to hear this! More double strung harp tutorials, please! I’m a beginner.
