Bill-- We work with Ron and his wife Alisa every October at the Museum of Appalachia Homecoming, and I have worked often with Bryan Bowers; I would venture to say that Ron is giving Bryan a run for his money on the harp. By the way-- Ron is now playing a harp which has fine tuners similar to those on a fiddle, so that minute adjustments can be made with a small slot-head screwdriver; it's a great idea. Sorry that I can't remember the maker's name.
