Hi Black Walnut, Yes I do mean a Clarsach - it was late here when I posted and my fingers had given up for the day!
It is a Clive Morley Harp, - he has a website - and is Mahogany. I bought it second hand from a lady through my harp teacher It is in immaculate condition and came with a fantastic padded carry bag - and I would agree with your comments about buying. The lady I bought it from had a professional artist paint a celtic bird design on the front of the sound box, in red, green, blue and gold, this makes it very distinctive, very pretty and unique. Getting better at my scales each week. I have never played an instrument with so many strings - I am more used to a fiddle! - perhaps that's why I dont get so stressed when the thing goes out of tune a little!!!!!! - although I have to say it is pretty good at staying in tune. The adjusters on mine are lovely, they are cam type levers and do the job nicely. Off to bed now to rest my tired and sore fingers!!! Thumbs Up! as my harp teacher keeps saying,
Cheers, Lucy
