Thread Name: English Harp
Subject: RE: English Harp
I play an English Harp - as made for me by Tim Hobrough circa 1982 and based on medieval Anglo-Norman iconography. I call it my Hare Harp after one illustration in which such a harp is depicted being played by a hare. Whilst I don't use it too much these days, I use it to accompany myself reciting the Middle-English poem The Names of the Hare (& related folklore) which is the first track on my (still extant!) Myspace page:
