Glad you like the piece- it is my favorite tune. That harp is a Dreamweaver by Heartland Harps. It has 34 strings and a curved soundbox, so you don't have to tilt it. I like it a lot. The one I built is the walnut Rainbow harp seen in the first harp video here. I like it too, it is very pretty, but with just 26 strings and awkward handling I don't use it much. I prefer the bigger floor harp.
The dragonflies are just inexpensive removable decals bought at the hobby store. I wish they were larger, but this will do for now. Someday I will get a better birned and painted design on there as I did for the Rainbow harp.
Thanks Mary. It is a nice sounding harp with lots of strings. Did you notice the dragonflies on the soundboard? Someday I'd like to burn and paint a better decoration, but these will do for now. Donna
Hi Donna,
This is a beautiful tune. Who wrote it and where can one get the sheet music? Thanks.

Eby- it is a lovely and easy piece, written by Pamela Bruner and included in her wonderful "Learn to Play the Harp Beautifully", book 1.

Lovely tune! Is that the harp you made?

No, it is the Heartland DreamWeaver. I made the MusiKits Limerick model, with design modifications.
The piece is by Pamela Bruner in her first Play the Harp Beautifully book. It is easy and sounds good- what more could you ask. Thanks, Donna.

Yes I noticed them! Especially the nice blueish one next to your left hand. It is sort of sparkly. How did you do them? Decals?

Hi Donna! Nice seeing you again! The sound of your harp always impresses me so much! It is such a rich, warm sound. Just enviable! Nice playing, too!
Happy harping,
