Paula Tait plays Vissi D'arte (Puccini, arr. Tait) on a Dusty String FH36B - lever harp. Recorded at Clive Morley Harps in March 2007.
With a full five octaves, starting and ending on C, the FH36 B - Rectangular Soundbox - has an ideal range for a full-size lever harp. The all-solid-wood construction brings a stunning amount of depth, power, responsiveness and articulation to the characteristic bright and clear Dusty Strings sound. These harps are truly an impressive piece of fine woodworking and a satisfying investment for any professional harp player or harp enthusiast.
Paula is a professional harpist, singer and composer. Her performances have ranged from playing the harp live in front of six million people on BBC1 to playing in a babies' intensive care ward in a Dublin hospital.
