Anyone thinking of trying this might be better considering getting hold of a harp instead.

Or, better yet, learn to play the GUITARP.

An instrument invented and (exquisitely) played by world-class eccentric Phil DeGruy.

(Phil's web page "guitarp.com" should include a link to the instrument pictured at "guitarp.com/guitarp.html" ~ but it doesn't.)

This is NOT just some kind of "show-off" novelty act, but rather highly serious musicianship (albeit a little weird). Read the Guitar Player magazine article referenced on the above-linked pages if you need convincing
