My Singing Bird on Erard Grecian

This is a lovely traditional Irish tune sung by Luka Bloom on his lullaby albumn, Before Sleep Comes. When I first heard it, I thought of my daughter and how she was like a little bird.

The harp is my new Erard Grecian, circa 1818. This harp is old, but has a lot of life in her yet. I bought the harp sight unseen in an online furniture auction. It was a real find.

Why is the vid reversed???

[darcybell]

Sorry about it being reversed. I used my computer to record this - Photobooth - for some reason it makes a mirror image. I didn't realize this when I made it.

[lisettaerard580]

Thank you Darcy,  Sorry, I thought you were living in England.I did inport my Erard single action harp from Philadelfia three years ago and it was a difficult and expensive experience. place, I could not see the harp before buying it. Good luck
