Wonderful overview of the triple harp! Thank you Hannah Lane

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

I love the sound of this instrument, particularly of its basses - They reminds me those of the theorbo.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

It sounds exactally like a Theorbo, which is great because my Theorbo is in the Shop getting updated w/ Geared Tuners & a Pickup.

Whatever she was playing reminded me of Foglies d’Espagne.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

That's the song she played

You have a beautiful instrument and you are very knowlwgeable and beautiful as well. Anyone would be fortunate to have you play continuo for them.

Is a triple harpist able to convey if this harp is available to purchase here and there and also if I did get my hands on one, can it replace my full size harp and allow for playing after the 17th century so can I do post-baroque? Classical? Romantic yadda yadda and so on? Great if so. But making me salivate like wild if indeed you can play any period on it even through 21st century pieces. I really need the response from a trained triplist. Because when I hear it and I get the technique, first I think convenient but complicated method of play and tailored to the harmony of a dance more than playing solos. It is also impossible for even one second to ignore the timbre of it, don't get me wrong, it's timber is incredible. You feel you must be in some 1600s French or Italian Court with a few troubadours sitting around the table playing. But while that timbre is intoxicating plus time travel, I have a feeling that's not a sound I would want to have carrying some contemporary piece. Heck I don't even think it could do Celtic NOR could it take on orchestral music. So let me know.

It sounds like a Lute, cool Harp dude.

[@millomweb]

I wonder if the triple makes it more difficult to play cleanly ?

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Nah they're colored

[@Knappa22]

Isn’t this a Welsh harp?

Geared Pegs would help
