Hi Leigh, thanks, it's just a little tiny harp! I've only played I think one smaller, but this one is just teeny weenie, totally nylon strung like a regular old folk harp, has 22 strings from middle C on up, and it has tension that is extremely tight so that's maybe why it has such a bright sound kinda maybe like a wire-strung, and I play it just exactly like I do my other harps, it was made by Virgil Hughes in Colorado, and he has such an interesting history, I feel really honored to have a piece of it to take care of and to play :-)
Darling little harp, beautiful playing.
So beautiful! Is that a clarsach? However did you learn to play it? Are there any teachers?
