A couple of weeks ago, a friend made this video of 'yours truly' carving a harp 'knuckle'. The time lapse makes it look as though I'd just downed several hundred Pepsis! Seriously though, I'm very pleased with the final result and I plan to make a link to it from our Pilgrim Harps website. Shaping the knuckle is a very satisfying task as for me, it's the point at which the neck/pillar part is fitted to the soundbox and it really starts to become a harp. Hope you enjoy it!
Oh my gosh....incredible! I really enjoyed the video...have never seen anything like it! You possess amazing skill and talent. (I'm going to show the video to my son, who plays the guitar, cello, bass, and ukelele. He will enjoy it too.)
You are way too kind Kelly. Wow, your son sounds really talented! There's no point in making a musical instrument if there isn't anyone much more clever to play it.
Wow!! Jerry!! This is such an impressive video! It takes a lot of patience!! I'll have to show this one to my husband! (You don't want to see his video doing the same thing!) Loved it!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you Jane, I promise you, it's way less impressive at normal speed.

ReplyDeleteThanks hmuxo - my wife said she was pretty scared watching me work speeded up as it looks as though I might take a finger off in an instant!
