Braigh Loch Iall !! Scottish harp competition, national level

[meizlovely]

oh my God, the most beautiful 4 minutes of my life! what kind of harp is that ?! how many strings?

@meizlovely Thank you, that's quite the compliment! It was a lovely day for an event like this...but the background noise was an issue for all of us. As to what kind of harp, it's an Irish harp or early Gaelic harp strung with wire strings as the old ones used always be. I built it about 18 years ago, has 31 strings of yellow brass wire and patterned after a couple Irish antiques from the 1700's.

I thought that announcer was going to thank every farm animal at the event by name.

So nice to hear it on a wire-strung harp! Shame about the background noise...
