You play absolutely wonderfully, especially since you've only been playing for less than a year. I like the way you play Carolan's Welcome, it's my favourite O'Carolan tune. It's very different from the way I play it, kind of softer. Also I absolutely adore the harp you're playing on, a 150-year old Erard... Gorgeous.
It seems that you have a new and very professionnal new harp. How are you doing with the seven pedals? The harp suits you so well, Lizzie and You suit the harp so gracefuly....
Her 150 year old Erard. I'm using it to get used to the pedal. Last week I went to the Salvi and Lyon & Healy show rooms and had a go at many of their Harps. We can't get one until about 2012, but I know which one I would like. It's plain looking but sounds great.

Bravo! Lovely arpeggio at 0:45 and also... that is quite a fine harp you have there, beautiful by sound and sight.

Lizzie,
As the only Turlough O'Carolan fan in Cut & Shoot, Texas, this is very impressive!
Thanks for doing this!

Are you using lightly strung gut concert strings on the Erad?
You are improving before our very eyes!
Compliments to your teacher also.

Yes Pheona, I think they are light strung concert strings. Actually the Harp belongs to my teacher Alice Trentham.
She has been my teacher since I started last June.

Happy harping,

Nice job Lizzie, this is one of the first Carolan tunes I learned. :)
Did you get a new harp? It's beautiful.

Hi Thankyou.
Actually this is one of my teacher's Harps.
Her 150 year old Erard. I'm using it to get used to the pedal. Last week I went to the Salvi and Lyon & Healy show rooms and had a go at many of their Harps. We can't get one until about 2012, but I know which one I would like. It's plain looking but sounds great.
