[@elizabethmchenry3102]

No music is as heavenly as that made by an aoelian harp. It is a beautiful occurence of nature,but it has a spiritual parallel. The harp is nothing but a wooden box with strings attached in harmony,waiting to be touched by the unseen fingers of the wandering wind. As breath of heaven floats over the strings,notes that are nearly divine float upon the air, as if a choir of angles were wondering about and touching the strings. Just beautiful! Thank you

I was inspired to find this, because today I found a nice place to place my lap harp and suddenly the wind caught my notes and resonated them. As if God and the angels came down to have a turn. It really eased my soul and I took my time to let the wind play as it wanted to. A Divine duet!

[@harfenspieler]

That's the beauty of it - you can simply immerse yourself in the sound. Have you tried tuning to different scales, like pentatonic, when the wind blows through the strings of your harp?

[@Jude300c]

@@harfenspieler You know? I have not yet, in fact Im only just easing to harp after having a lyre. Im not really financially well off, but the lyre and harp off amazon have brought me so much pleasure and joy to play on. Im curious about scales and tunings. I tune by nature once I've set my instruments up at there standard. I always drop my lyre a whole step because it sounds much warmer with the metal strings. But as Im not trained on notation, I really have no clue what that tuning is. On the harp itself i may just fiddle around as Ive been playing it clean.

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

I love the idea behind this instrument! I know what's happening here, but I'm surprised it's so loud. Wind is an example of "Pink noise". Noise is lots of frequencies being heard all at the same time; maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe millions. You can't pick out any notes, because there are so many. It just sounds like...noise! The aeolian harp plays only certain frequencies. Those frequencies are in the sound of the wind, so it resonates them in the strings.

[@MelindaGreen]

The pink noise is essentially a bow on each string. Each string only wants to play a tonic plus harmonics, those harmonics, which are picked up by other strings and vise versa. Now I want to hear the result of different tunings.

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

@@MelindaGreen That's a point. I didn't think of the harmonics being triggered. Yeah, different tunings would be great to hear. The strings could even be tuned to a chord, where some notes are doubled up, & slightly detuned. When a string is physically bowed, it produces a different kind of sound wave. There's something you can use on an electric guitar, called an E-bow. I've never used one. It vibrates a guitar string, without touching it, using electromagnetism.

[@MelindaGreen]

@@EarlOfMaladyCrescent I'd even like to hear what happens if all the strings are tuned to the same note (practically impossible, I know). 12 string guitars and the higher end of pianos have doubled strings, so we know it sounds nice. But mainly, I wonder about tuning to various chords and even scales other than the standard 12 tones. So many questions!

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

@@MelindaGreen That's a good idea! Quarter tones can create some very interesting sounds. I suppose if all the strings were tuned to one note, they'd all resonate at the same time and give a very rich chorus type sound. I know there's an instrument where all the strings are the same length, (I think it's a koto). There's one movable fret for every string and you use them to (tune) the strings to whatever scale you want to play in. Maybe that instrument could create that one note sound, played by the wind.

[@mr.astronuts3825]

It’s because of vortices I think

[@paulg3336]

In Melbourne Australia it is common for industrial buildings to have wires tensioned across the roofs to stop birds landing. In a brisk breeze the wires act just like Aeolian harps.

[@harfenspieler]

I wonder if those wires are tuned, or just whirring at random?

[@paulg3336]

@@harfenspieler Just random. The object is to obstruct the birds landing. The sound is just a unintentional by product. Cool sound though and it begs the question whether tuning the strings of an aeolian harp is even necessary.

[@Erik3harps]

Any harp will do this. Just take care it doesn't get blown over. I played harp and sang at a graveside service and the wind participated every so often. A traditional wind harp or Aeolian harp is rectangular, often placed on the sill of a double hung window. All twelve strings are tuned to the same note and the rising and falling of wind velocity brings out different notes in the harmonic series above the fundamental tuning, American transcendental writers wrote about wind harps.

[@harfenspieler]

Thanks for your comment - I'm impressed about how many different types of wind harps there are. Just had the effect again when playing out in the open on a wedding the other day, it was very windy and people were instantly mesmerised by the sound... :)

[@privateinformation784]

Erik Johansson is it possible to have a wind harp tuned in Ionian Mode?? All the wind harps I’ve seen have been Aeolian tuned.

[@harfenspieler]

If there is no reference bass note, those two scales would sound the same. You'd have to tune the instrument to a non-modal scale, e. g. a pentatonic scale, or harmonic/melodic minor, to get a different sound from a wind harp. A chromatic 12-tone scale would also work, but sounds very eerie to my ears.

[@Erik3harps]

@@privateinformation784The traditional rectangular wind harp is generally tuned to one fundamental note. The changing velocity of the wind divides the vibrating nodes on the strings, producing various notes of the harmonic series. The intervals are closer as they ascend, and by the third octave go into the "harmonic scale". so the wind can play melodies on the single note all strings are tuned to. It is amazing, because the motion of the strings is barely visible, while the music can be quite loud.

This is excellent. I was wondering, are you planning on undertaking any more of these recordings in the near future? I'm currently in Limerick Institute of Technology and working on my final year project. It's called 'Elements' and its essentially an ambient EP which is inspired by three of natures elements: air, water and earth. I've been recording some interesting things, like underwater recordings and for the air element of the track I built a basic wind harp and although I am getting some interesting sound out of it, it's not a patch on this. Now, perhaps it's the environment but may also be the strings? All my strings are the same guage. They are 0.45 nylon fishing line. Perhaps they need to be different guages? I also can see from your video, that I must place the contact mic INSIDE the body! But getting sidetracked haha, if you were ever recording like this again I'd love to help out or take part in the session and get some of these recordings for my own projects if you were okay with that? Anyway, great video, thanks for sharing!

[@DeeEfSea]

What is the main difference in terms of construction between a conventional harp and an aeolian harp? Are they essentially the same instrument but just used in a different way?

[@harfenspieler]

Any harp can be used as an aeolian harp by putting it into the wind at a certain angle (string plane perpendicular to the wind). You can use different tunings, such as pentatonic, for varying the sound. There are also dedicated, specialsed wind harps that are mostly optimised to endure moisture and other weather conditions. Some of them have their string tension kept with weights, so that no tuning is necessary.

[@DeeEfSea]

Harfenspieler I was wondering if you could offer a critique on my idea.. I'm considering building a portable Aeolian Harp which would be in the form of a helmet - An Aeolian Helmet. I want to design this so that when the user walks or maybe cycles, it will create enough wind flow to activate the harp and create an all round and intimate sensory experience. What is the minimum length that I could make this harp? Would a small harp be very high pitched? Would it require a lower wind flow or higher wind flow compared to larger harps?

[@harfenspieler]

Govind Sidhu , very interesting concept. Small string length means high pitch, but you can increase the string diameter and composition to compensate that effect, up to a point. I don't know how such a device would look like or behave, but it's certainly worth looking into. :)

[@jazzcatt]

+Dee Ef Sea just a note to add to Harfenspieler's comment. the fatter the string and/or the tighter a string is pulled, the less likely wind will be able to make it vibrate. Same for short strings. The shorter it is the more difficult it will be for just wind to vibrate it.

[@jazzcatt]

+Dee Ef Sea Don't confuse Aeolian mode or scale with Aeolian harp. An aeolian hars is simply a stringed instrument that is played by the wind and is named for Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind. A traditional harp, played by plucking strings, is not tuned to Aeolian mode.
