Planxty Irwin on 22 string Paraguayan Harp

This is the fifth harp that I have made and many thanks to John Kovac for the designs and assistance. This harp was made as a fundraiser for the Algoma Trad Music Camp on St Joseph Island near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, where Jenny & I had a lot of fun last August.

The harp is made from ordinary ½"plywood for the neck, Western red cedar 1X6 fence planks for the sides Finnish aircraft ply for the soundboard, pine for the post and 3/16" ply flooring underlay for the back.

I have only been playing harp since last June and it is just starting to come together but it is a lot of fun trying.
