I first fell in love with this harp after hearing William Jackson and Gráinne Hambly playing Fisher harps at the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival 2007. I was mesmerized by how easily the harp was played by Gráinne, especially on her arrangement of the Rectory Reel. In August 2009 I finally decided to ask Gráinne to pluck a few strings. I was amazed how I did not require a lot of force to create the brilliant bell-like sound on the Fluro-Carbon strings. It was in October that I finally put my name on the two-year waiting list. I received the harp in April 2010, just in time for the TBSYO's Triple Threat concert. Sound: bell-like
Pluck: light/easy
Spacing: wider in the bottom strings than the top
Built: excellent
Weight: moderately-light
Case Included: yes
Meant for: Celtic, but can be played for any style
Strings: fluro-carbon, 34
Levers: Camac. Barely make a sound when flipped!
