Make Mine a Double: A Beginning Method for Double-Strung Harp
Harp Music Book & Companion Audio CD
by Cynthia Shelhart
The contemporary double-strung harp has fascinated harp players and listeners since its inception in 1989. The instrument’s ability to overlap melody and harmony in the same range, as well as its characteristic “echo” effect, makes it a natural outlet for musical creativity. Some harpers and harpists have learned its secrets through instinct and experimentation—but many potential players still ask: “How do you play that thing?”
