The Golden Harp Fund
The Pedal Harp has been Repaired!
If you own a copy of The Black Rose you are probably aware that for a time I was trying to raise money to fix a beautiful golden pedal harp that had been donated. I am pleased to say that after many years of waiting for a new soundboard, "Goldie" is now in top shape and being played daily! It's so much fun to finally be able to play pedal harp, learn about all the pedals, and play music with a broader range. Chromaticism rocks. I'm working on an album of pedal harp improvisations that I might add some ambient electronics to ... stay posted for more on that. Anyway, thanks again to everyone who contributed financially to the Golden Harp Fund. Now this gorgeous instrument, nearly one hundred years old, has a new life after being out of commission for about thirty years. Special thanks to John Westling at Sandpiper Harps for doing such a great job with the repair! The harp sounds amazing and is very loved.
