    I think this question was asked a while back here and if I remember correctly nobody knew who it was. Were there 2 harps in Fantasia? Or only one?

    My teacher, Marjorie Tyre, said that Edna Phillips and she played the harp under Stokowski at that time and played the music. It was not their silhouettes in the film,she said, but rather studio harpists who were colleagues.

    Well, I’m very happy to announce that, FINALLY, the mystery has been solved as to who the on-camera harpists were for Fantasia.

    Thanks to Alex Rannie for going through the Disney vaults and finding the call sheets for the live action filming!

    According to the studio call sheets, the on-camera harpists used for the live action filming were Elizabeth Ershoff and Helen Bliss.
