T33 - Bill Taylor

COME & TRY WIRE-STRUNG HARP
TIME: Saturday 09.00 - 10.30
TUTOR: Bill Taylor
LEVEL: Come & Try
An opportunity to try out the beautifully resonant wire-strung Highland clarsach. The technique we use is often called playing “in the stopped style”, where the finger pads damp certain strings to stop excessive ringing, and allow us to hear a clear line for the melody, the decoration, or both. Play a few simple tunes and touch on its history. A limited number of wire-strung clarsachs are available. Long nails are not needed!
