Daren, this is wonderful! Why is there only the one video?

does having long finger nails interfere with playing the harp?

I played with nails as an experiment and found that I didn't like the tone...the sound of the nails releasing the strings was nice, but the sound of the initial contact was jarring. But I play polycarbonate or nylon strings. For the Celtic harps with bronze wire strings (see Patrick Ball) nails are required.

Hi Darren Very, Very nicely done !!!! A pretty harp as well ! :-) After building it for you, it is so cool to both see and hear you playing her !

Thanks so much! I'm hoping that the gig this week at the Irish Music Awards will produce more video. If so I'll upload them as quick as I can.

I have to comment AGAIN. Your playing is so full of warmth. I came hoping to see something more from you and I find that I am still exceptionally moved by the way you play.

Thank you so much! I really, really mean to get more videos up there soon, but it's an expense. That one was done by a local TV station for an appearance I did and they have better editors than I do.
