News from Board Member Deborah Hay
Dream Harps
What do you give a 90 year old for their birthday? I spotted an ad for a
harp-making workshop at Albany recently, and thought it would be ideal for my father
to make one for himself.
Together with my father and two friends we spent a 3 day
weekend in the Duyfken boatshed creating beautiful instruments to bring home and
play. Starting with a slab of raw tree, after many hours of chiselling, sanding,
carving, oiling and waxing, the novice woodworkers were ready to drill the holes to
insert the pegs, and put the 12 strings into place ready for tuning. The tuning
itself was made extremely easy by the use of the latest electronic gadgets, and at
last we were ready to play!
Being in the pentatonic scale, these "Dream harps" are
more suitable for just strumming by non-musicians than for picking out traditional
tunes. The harps are held at right angles to the body, crossing the heart, so the
vibrations create a healing effect as the strings are plucked. Although the making
of these harps was quite hard work, when we held them in our hands we all knew it
was well worth it!
