its a neo-celtic lap harp... its difficult to see details, but on a mediaeval harp, the body is hollowed, and the frame is generally much lighter, with the pillar tenoning into the neck as 2 separate units.
I do, and a whole bunch of us who work in trying to understand harp history and development do....
I didn't criticise his playing, or the piece, just pointed out that a mediaeval harp is a different style of instrument, because I consider all types of harp valid... there is nothing wrong with neo-celtics, but they aren't mediaevals.. its like calling a mandolin a lute... same family, different species
@parkerharps You seem to know what you are talking about. I am confused on the naming of harps. Back when I used to play (20 years ago) the harps that are now generally called "celtic" used to be called "corrigan" (not this one, but the one that often has three legs, 'hooks' at the top and half an octave of metal bass strings). Did something change? Was I misinformed by my teachers. I was under the impression that the celtic ones are smaller than the corrigans? next question, next comment.
Sorr, but sylistically, thatreally isn't a mediaeval style instrument....

Yes but you don't need to write it! I think that if people will agree on everything the world will be so boring!

There is an incorrect statement.. I offered the correct term for the instrument.. I'm sorry if truth is so unimportant to you

You are right Mr. Parkerharps. I'll fix the Term!

Cost? Probably over 2k, if not 3-5k for a good reproduction. Lovely song. I wish we could have heard all of it!
