Brian Callan is part of a slow, steady revival of traditional harp-making in the Emerald Isle. Most of his handmade harps are built from fallen trees—some of them ancient; each with a story to tell.
I loved reading this! The part about using different woods together to create a balanced sound reminds me of how my Grammy used to always use different types of apples in a pie to get a better mixture of flavors and textures. Thank you for sharing this craft and story so beautifully.
These are really cool. I started playing harp about a year ago on a secondhand Dusty Strings Serrana 34, and I'm already thinking about a second harp. Wish I could afford one of these :D
Kimmy, what a lovely story. You have such a way of writing that makes the reader want the story to go on and on. Thank you! Doris ❤
