@She Wolf means that there's a lot of techniques to the harp, it's similar to the piano in a way, but composers usually only write glissando for harp in symphonic pieces. I think harp is the most misunderstood instrument for the composers as they're really not aware of how if works.

+Eamonn If you play a lot of gigs, the harpist is usually the first person there! First, you need to move the instrument into place, and next, you have to tune for the environment you'll be playing in. Humidity, heat or cold can affect the tuning of the instrument significantly, so the harpist needs to be there early to make sure the tuning techniques used allow for proper intonation, and that requires a bit of quiet.

Y'know, being in several orchestras of different unique instruments myself, I always thought, "Wow. As a string player, I don't thing we have much difficulty. Brass and percussion and woodwinds seem to have it bad." But I watched this video and I think this has to be the most complicated instrument I have seen so far. Pedals? I thought I was confused using three pedals on a piano growing up. The harp has *seven*. Kudos to harp players everywhere.

The hardest part is to transport the harp if you play in orchestra. You need to buy a car big enough to transport it if your current car is not big enough. Then you need to live on ground floor or live in a house because you want to avoid stairs as much as possible when you move the pedal harp. And then the pedal harp itself cost a lot.

At first, 7 pedals sounds QUITE intimidating, but as soon as you said one for each note I saw the simple genius of it. Especially if you can preset/lock all the sharps and flats into position before a given piece. Amazing bit of engineering instead of flipping a lever for every string or retuning and, contrasted with the piano, fewer strings across the same range because the sharps/flats don't have to be separate entities. This is probably the most informative harp video I've seen. Wonderful. Edit/Addendum: "Simple genius" does not mean "easy," by any stretch of English. For clarification though, complex engineering aside, if the pedals go left to right DEFGABC, it is laid out in a pattern that makes sense "to me." If, on the other hand, the pedals go DCBAGFE, I would think it was the worst decision ever made. Still amazing. Now I want to see the hidden mechanisms that were previously unknown.

The pedals go DCB EFGA The first three are moved by the left hand and the other 4 in the right It’s so they’re easier to move in terms of their position in the circle of fifths. Bb and Eb are the first flats so if they’re in the same position it makes changing to flat keys easier, same with C and F being sharps. I hope that makes sense haha

There seems to be a lot of confusion about how the harp is tuned and why the strings sound different that she said. Basically she forgot to move the pedals into the right position when she played the C and F so they sounded a semitones low. The probably thought no one would notice so didn't redo it. I'm a harpist and will try to explain the tuning. The pedals control the small pronged disks at the top. Two on each string. The pedals have three positions. With the pedals in the top position none of the disks are engaged and the strings are "open". Conceptually from the perspective of a harpist in this position the strings are lowered a semi tone. In the middle position the top disk is engaged which shortens the vibrating length of the string raising the pitch up a semi tone so the strings all sound natural. In the bottom position both disks are engaged shortening the vibrating length even further and raising the pitch another semi tone.
@TonyM9
@TonyM9 8 жыл бұрын
When you actually tune the harp, which you need to do every time you play, you tune with the strings open (the pedals in the top position). Otherwise the disks bind up the strings making accurate tuning impossible and putting unnecessary wear on the strings (which are rather expensive). So it's true that when the strings are being tuned the red strings are tuned B natural and the black / blue (depending on the brand) strings are tuned to E natural. However this isn't how you play the harp. When you sit at the harp to play the first thing you do is put the pedals into the middle position making the strings natural. From there you adjust the pedals to whatever key you want. But the middle position is the home position. And the home key is C major. And so once the pedals in the home position the red strings sound as C and the black / blue strings sound as F.
@TonyM9
@TonyM9 8 жыл бұрын
So the red strings are capable of sounding as B, C or C# , and the black / blue strings are capable of sounding as E, F or F#. But when in the home position they are C and F, and that's how pedal harpists think of and refer to them. Although the pedal harp can play in any key just like a piano, it is also, like the piano, not transposing instrument as it's home key is C. Now lever harps and other types of harps are another story. Due to their inherent limitations they may be tuned differently depending on the music typically played on them and personal preference of the individual harpists. I keep one leaver harp tuned to C for traditional music and a second tuned to Bb for classic and more modern music. But double action pedal harps such as the one in this video are always tuned so the home key is C.

Denise Mayosky great question, and you are 100% correct. But, the layout actually makes sense as the keys in music don’t go in alphabetical order either. There are three pedals on the left side and four on the right, like this: D C B E F G A This lets you modulate through the keys alternating between the left and right foot to change the pedals.

A friend plays a folk harp, a folk harp does not have the pedals still for me, he still is able to play most music, is there a limit for the flow harpist that you can do different, not better but just different. Not say one is better over the other. I love to hear the harp it adds so much.

I've wanted to play the harp for so many years now... but there weren't many teachers around when I was younger and now I don't have the time to put in the commitment to learning this instrument :')

The mechanical genius Sebastian Erard invented the "double action" harp in 1810 saving the harp from oblivion. He also invented the "double escapement" action for the piano allowing the instrument to evolve along with the rest of music.

What I love about the harp is that even the simplest things sound very gratifying. It is possible to play very complex music on the harp, but even a simple folk tune sounds sublime. I also play the piano, and in my opinion, compared to the harp, it takes a lot longer to get to play music that is beautiful to listen to.

You can also tap on the soundboard for a percussion feel as we play, depending on the music itself 😉

The color coded strings just make me think - why don't we have pianos like that? It wouldn't look that great, but I think it would help beginners like me...

+rzeka I've actually seen pianos for beginners that had either colored keys or labels. Also, I'm pretty sure the reason harps need these colours is that you have no point of orientation, with pianos you can instantly tell the keys apart thanks to how the black keys are arranged.

+rzeka well, at the piano you guide yourself with the black keys. C 2 black keys E F 3 black keys B C 2 Black keys... you know? haha So de key just left from the 2 black keys is a C : ) With the harp it's the same, the only coloured strings we have are C and F, the rest are white. So the rest of the strings are found thanks to them.
