Hi OtakuEvermore, I don't but I can send you some if you like?

[yunta51]

Does one have to grow the nails for playing this type of harp?

[wmacdonald]

It helps to have nails but you can get away without ;-)

[punchdrunkatheist]

@wmacdonald I hope to not bother you, but I also have been in some trouble finding material to play on my new harp, if you could send me some I would be really gratefull, also I love your videos and I find them to be a great inspiration as a musician, in any case I thank you in advance for the attention and for posting such wonderful pieces of music.

Have to say this: by the end of the 16th century, harpsichords often had a stop called "harp" where they had pins jutting against the strings to make them fuzzy. The texts show that this was an expected condition for harps, and indeed, most african instruments today still have contraptions devised for this.

It's only in modern times that the aesthetics have gone to "clear" sounds;

By the way, shouldn't you learn to make divisions on the music?

Whomever it was that gave this video a negative vote should be thrown to the sharks. This is beautiful to say the least.

@wmacdonald We sure do! Per Mare, Per Terras!!! You're more than welcome, I LOVE your videos, definitely among my very top favorites of all time. If I ever move to Skye, I'll sure visit y'all's harp shop.
