Amazing Grace on Celtic Harp

Traditional melody, ascribed to John Newton.
Arrangement and performance by Ethan Falleur.

Please forgive the tuning of the harp, I couldn't find my electronic tuner, so I had to perfect pitch the whole thing.

Performed on a William Rees Grand Harpsicle, full Robinson levers.

Hey CHRIS IS THAT A GRAND HARPSICLE THT YOU ARE ARE PLAYING ,AND IF SO WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF THEM ?

[CelticHarper7]

My name is Ethan, Chris was the other poster, haha.

But yes, it is a Grand Harpsicle and I LOVE it. It has excellent tone and response. The tone is not done justice by this video, I promise. It projects well, so that in a venue with good acoustics, it can carry unamplified. If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a message.

[CelticHarper7]

Haha, glad to enlighten you, Chris!

Hey I was looking around the net for Rising Sun videos and noticed you were playing a Rees Harp. I worked for them for a short time making the harpsicles, I will say that there harps are pretty amazing sounding. Anyway, you sound pretty good!

[chansherly212]

just lovely! i'm thinking of learning the harp, how often do you have to change strings? and is it difficult to change them?

[pheona1000]

You appear to be the only person playing a Grand Harpsicle on U-Tube.

I am considering buying one for its portability for Music Therapy.

Could you possibly put more video's on U-Tube so that I can have a better idea?

Beautifully done!
