Did you know that the ancient harpers of Scotland and Ireland played with their harps resting on their left shoulders? In a brief and fun presentation, Cynthia explains why the bass hand traditionally used on the wire-strung harp is not the bass hand of the piano.

Recommended for any harpers interested in the history of the instrument, particularly suitable for extended harp events (long weekend or week-long events.)
