    Historical harps really are a completely different instrument and absolutely lovely. And the wire-strung Irish harps are stunners. They sound like a bell choir!

    Great job and thanks you for your playing and explanation of the harps as I've built a few and the Celtic was very challenging, Thank you.🎶❣️😎

    Beautiful. To me the bray harp always reminds me of a Sitar.

    05:10-05:40_ The volume is shocking. Too cool, @01:28 the instrument is new to me. What more for Christmas besides a surprise resurrection of the called of Christ, but, until then your beautiful playing & creating will do very well. Merry Christmas

    That was very interesting. They sounded surprisingly good together. You both looked like you really enjoyed it as much as I did.

    I noticed the hand placement specifically on the second harpist where the fingers were parallel if not almost plucking upward on the strings. The fingers were pointed up instead of the typical harpers hand placement with thumbs up and fingers down. Is this something specific to this type of instrument?

      This is necessary because you play wire string harp with your nails, not the pads of your fingers, so the modern classical harp hand position doesn’t really work very well for that.

    the brayed harp sounds very Middle Eastern. was that practice brought back from the Crusades?

    the irish harp, is always played like if left handed?

      Historically, yes. The Irish and Scottish wire-strung harp was played resting on the left shoulder, left hand treble, right hand bass. (Welsh harp also)

    So, I take it that the buzzing bray harps were hardly a tradition in ancient Ireland & Scotland? And no offense, but as a Celtic harp player, the sound is so annoying to my ears, that I can’t imagine anyone enjoying it🤷‍♀️🎶
