    The middle section is particularly interesting, where you see very close up the differing playing techniques between the traditional Irish and Scottish wire strung harp and the lever harp, and, of course, hear the differing sounds.

    I can’t believe it’s been out there almost two years and I never saw it. I’m making my way through the whole series.

    I must say, it surprised me a little that she didn’t discuss the two kinds of harps that people today are most likely to see…lever harps and pedal harps.

    That is the first time I’ve ever heard a bray harp. Now I know what the buzzing means! It sort of reminds me of an acoustic guitar- very soothing. Nice of you to share these videos- I’ll have to spend some time going through them as well. Cheers!:-)

    I thought that Ethiopian lyre was rather cool…kind of like a harp meets a didgeridoo!
