My Version of Morrison Jig(On my new Lyon and Healy Ogden!)

[meizlovely]

sounds amazing, truly amazing!! What kind of harp is that? how many strings does it have?

[maplesquirrel]

@meizlovely This is a Lyon and Healy Ogden. 35 strings. :-)

[LinusDino]

I love how you're playing - wonderful!

[micael5963]

Complimenti,molto brava!

[micenesagitter79]

ma dai è lentissima e imprecisa!! aspetta a mettere le cose su youtube no!?

[DudelsackOnline]

Well done !!!

[DLionel00]

Exquisite!!

[wwelti]

Very nice! I really like the tone :)

[ExcelsiorW]

Your Minstrel sounds good, but the Lyon and Healy makes a difference! It's beautiful!

I may, in fact, be getting a Minstrel. Not bad, for a first harp!

[LaiYouttitham]

That was very lovely!

[pheona1000]

It requires a lot more ability to play by ear which you have in abundance!

Think of all the trees you are saving by never having to every buy sheet music!

Well done

[TwoHarps]

Very enjoyable. Your harp sounds very good.

[ilvapplecrisp]

i have the same harp! the exact replica of that harp! i love mine!

[maplesquirrel]

It is awesome! :-D

[DaughterOfApollo]

@ilvapplecrisp: Same here! What finish is yours?

[szgage]

That was very well played and you did your L&H harp justice. If tempo consistency is an issue, practice at a slow tempo and gradually work your way up. I just upgraded from a Minstrel harp to a Dusty Strings Revenna 34. I hope I get brave enough to showcase my harp as well as you have.

Keep up the good work!

[Omnimedium]

Very nice playing. I watched some of your older videos first and eventually made my way here, and it was a very noticeable improvement. Not to say that your older stuff was bad. It obviously was good enough that I kept listening to your videos, but your playing, as seen in this video, has grown distinctly more gentle and emotive. I'll definitely be rechecking your channel for some more. Keep it up. :D.

*****BRAVA!*****

[togele]

noww i saw 6 or 8 videos from you. this is the first with your new harp. i think its wunderful sound. And very good playing from you.

(my simple english is very bad - sorry i`m a german ;-)

[ACOcean]

Can only say ,,excellent''

[maplesquirrel]

Thankyou! ;-)

[wendygillissen]

Congratulations on your new harp, it sounds wonderful! I'm working on this jig too, it's contagious!:)

[3rdDerivative]

And wonderful playing, by the way. I love this song too :)

[3rdDerivative]

I don't know if you've stumbled across this site already, but thesession(dot)org has the sheet music to almost any traditional Irish song you can think of.

[Hildegard71]

It's great. I read in your profile that you want a pedal harp in the future. I give you some advice: play celtic harp, there are planty of beautiful celtic harp builders and your are a real celtic harp player! Your new harp sounds great!

[faeryharper]

There is something addictive about this jig. I had to learn it as soon as I heard it.

[szgage]

Congratulations on your new harp!!! I know how hard (and expensive) it is to upgrade. It sounds incredible!

[grungegurl1690]

Hi i read on your profile that you purchased a used 29 string harp and i wanted to know where possibly where you got it, or where maybe you can find good deals on harps? I'm also wanting to learn how to play the harp, but as you know they are so damn expensive! Any ways, you are very amazing at what you do, and good luck in the future with furthering your talent!

[MegMerrilies]

I really started something when I decided to learn this. It's great to hear so many different interpretations. You'll get the timing with practice. Try tapping your foot or use a metronome to practice with.

[Silmaril11]

I admire your ability of learning songs by ear, I'm not good at that, but I hope to learn that, too.

Congratulations to your new harp, you chose really well, it sounds great!

[pmfrankcabrera]

WOW this harp is so awesome. The tone is amazing and it really shows how well your playing has gotten. Great job

[maplesquirrel]

Thanks Frank!!!! :-)

Great Video!!!!!

Very nice Tune!!!

Very well played!!!

Best regards from Germany

[janeczka]

The new harp is gorgeous! you did much better on the timing than I would have done! lovely job!

[CelticMusings]

Such a beautiful song! You play wonderfully!! :D Is it just me or do parts of this song sound similar to Loreena McKennitt's "Huron/Beltaine Fire Dance"?... You should play that next! :) You have lovely videos!

[maplesquirrel]

You are right! I love Loreena McKennit's music, but I don't recall ever hearing that song. It does sound like part of it is the Morrison's jig. :-D You are very observant!

[MacRaen]

Congrats for your videos, you are so beatyfull plaing the harp ^ ^
