- improvising on the 22-string "Heather" harp, chromatic model, based on "The Dark Island", from the Hebrides.
The revolution in real "minstrel's" harps at prices under $100 from suppliers like Mid-East Mfg Co. in Pakistan, brings a harp - the perfect instrument for making music at home - within reach of even the most modest purse.
These 15 video clips give a taste of how one player uses six different models, playing composed tunes and improvising: there will be more about tuning later. There's also a DVD and a web-site.
As well as the harps, David also plays flutes, clarinets, guitar, accordion, synthesised strings and bass: where there is spoken text, it's dubbed in English over the original Swedish.
