W10 - The Three Scottish Harps by Karen Marshalsay
Karen will demonstrate each of the three Scottish harps: the older wire-strung harp of the Gaels with its long resonance, the more familiar modern lever harp, and the buzzing bray harp of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The workshop will look at the different characteristics, tones, timbres, and techniques of each harp and how players today can benefit from exploring all of them, taking ideas and techniques from one type of harp and applying them to another, or adapting them to suit.
