What is a Harp Tasting?

What is a Harp Tasting? Is it like wine tasting? In this video, you'll get to see a Harp Tasting at the Somerset Folk Harp Festival... with hilarious moments! This lever harp comparison is a fascinating way to figure out which harp sound you prefer, without getting to see what it looks like.

At first I was concerned everyone was out together, but then I learned this took place last year. What a fun thing to do!

Oooh! I think that's a Music Maker's Sonnet lap harp at 7:21. Do you remember what you thought of it? As I'm typing this I realize it was close to a year ago...🤣

[@LearningtheHarp]

I’m afraid I can’t remember... it feels like MANY years ago!! 😅 But I do like MusicMakers harps 👌🏻

[@rumilb]

"Buzz all around you" they must not have been playing with proper technique ;)

[@LearningtheHarp]

😂😂🤣 You’re hilarious!! Or maybe the harps all need servicing for those buzzes...? 😁

[@jenniferlane3159]

Brilliant opening 😂😂😂

[@kimswartz9107]

Gosh I wish I could attend one of these before buying a harp!

[@michaelgoldsmithii6469]

Interesting event. I don't think those are hosted in San Antonio - possibly in Houston or another fine arts city in Texas. Very cool! Sounds like fun, too.

Do you have any suggestions on picking a harp when you can't go to a festival or harp tasting?

[@kawanaaliimatafitafi3576]

What is that beautiful piece that the other woman is playing?

[@LearningtheHarp]

It’s a Irish tune called Larry o'Gaff’s jig, played here by Janet Harbison. You might be able to find an arrangement in one of Janet Harbison’s harp books 😊

Hello dear I fell in love with harp but now I am in quarantine and I also can't afford a harp yet (At least for some months) I have 2 questions Before buying what can I do in order to prepare and stay motivated ?( in these months) And another question:how long have you been playing the harp ? Thank you so much Kiss kiss××

bahar khodaverdi Hi, I’m waiting for my harp to come after the lockdown is lifted. Right now I’m practicing my sight reading on my old piano, since I haven’t played music for more than 10 years. While I wait, I’m being frugal and saving up more cash for the harp (less credit). These keeps me motivated while I wait, I hope these points could help you too.

[@baharkhodaverdi9296]

@@tin5185 oh dear Ti N thank you so much I will certainly follow the same..... as I need to practice and review music theory (I haven't touched my violin for years ) and certainly saving money is very wise! Thanks again...have a great day
