Wonderful to see the triple up on youtube!! You do a nice job of presenting the unique strengths of this harp. One of my friends asked what kind of delay you had on this harp. I told him this was one of the few harps that could "acoustic delay" without retuning. Please share more.

Thanks, great to hear you've enjoyed the clip. Though I'm not sure what you mean by acoustic delay. I am assuming you mean playing the tune between the two rows tremelo style? Definitely one of the party tricks of this type of harp.

Gosh, I have enough trouble with one row of strings, let alone 3! Well done :)

[seb25arpa]

Thanks, I guess I have the other problem, only one row of strings?....

I've played this before. I do like the way you feel the music and play it on your harp. Great job!

That's great - never seen a triple harp being played before.

Sounds nice. A triple harp? That's amazing. How do you pluck the middle strings?
