    Ive been to the waterstones in front of her probably thousands of times but it still took me the entire video to recognise where she was sitting. I feel so dumb.

    WOW! I found this so very informative. This lady truly knows her instrument, and what a beautiful sound. The harp I wish that someone would do this about a cello.

      I agree. people should do this with all the other string instruments too. that would be so informative for the layman or general public.

      pablo9364 yes, she was very bright. Was planning to walk across europe to Rome without money or belongings, just the harp and playing her way through. There is a name for it that i forgot but it's not unheard off. Other musicians do it too.

    • @thomasmueller7153
      @thomasmueller7153 3 года назад +3

      That‘s true , because there‘s always a breeze blowing and the harp is so small. I guess the explanation is that the stone ground underneath and the stone wall behind her help create a sound tunnel. Additionally, I was standing close to her.

      Yeya Music it's cool that she retuned it to suit herself better. i come from piano and there are no alternative tunings. it's always one way. so this flexibility amazes me.

      @kathilisi3019 2 года назад

      I don't get why she did though, it's not as if it didn't have two octaves before. I have a similar harp that's tuned in F.

      @regaldf.9493 Год назад

      @@kathilisi3019 If she played a piece in C major on a 16-string harp that starts on F, then there were only 1 1/2 octaves up from the base note.

      @kathilisi3019 Год назад +1

      @@regaldf.9493 true. Same applies to a harp that starts at a C and you try to play a piece in G major. This is where transposing comes in handy. With a two octave harp, whether it's tuned to C, F, G or E flat major, you transpose every piece into the scale that gives you the full range of your instrument.

      let me see if i can find her again online and maybe she can answer that question. i am a classical pianost and can only tell you about pianos. what would be exciting if you recorded the same song , camera at same distance , on your harp and uploaded it as a video-response to my video and then everyone can hear the difference in sound. that would be educational and fun!

    Nice tone! I expected shrill sounds and was pleasantly surprised. Did you tune all the strings an octave lower than usual?

    • @bruhnstv
      @bruhnstv Год назад +3

      No, not a whole octave! The bottom blue string (normally an F) she has tuned to C, which makes the red strings G (normally tuned to C). Because on a folk harp you can only sharp strings, players often tune some set of strings flat so they can play music that has flats. A folk harp with a full set of sharping levers could then play from however many flats it's been tuned for, up to some numbers of sharps in the music if all the sharping levers are engaged.
