  • I think I have that version. That was super. I do too many mistakes to post mine.

  • It is a little tough for a beginner, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. Once I develop some real chops, I'd like to do it again. With all that movement it is difficult to touch a vibrating string in motion just right so it doesn't buzz. This harp stuff is challenging!

  • Yes, it is, but you look lik you are on the right track, good luck to you! Who arranged that version of "Carolan's Fancy" ?

  • Its hard to say. It never sounds the same twice.

    I first found it in a Sylvia Woods book, checked with an original facsimile from an old carolan anthology, then ended up taking some from each-with a little of my own improvised LH accompanyment. I've been away from the score for a while so I just sort of play it and whatever happens happens.

  • I sound like a right prig - the Irish harp was played resting on the left shoulder, not the right. Nonetheless this is very fine playing indeed.

  • It is indeed lovely playing, but a 'Celtic' harp is a misnomer; the Irish harp was considerably smaller and played with wire, bronze, even gold strings. The evolution of the Welsh harp is a story in itself.

  • really nice playing

  • yah thats a dragonheart

  • Beautiful playing! It matches your harp. Is it a Heartland Dragonheart?

  • Your excellant!

  • that´s a good start!!!

    best wishes
