      Thanks, this was before realizing how much harder it is to record a pedal harp than recording a lever harp.

    I also play this piece! You are progressing really fast! I love your new harp. I play a Lyon & Healy 1937 style 15.

      It's such a great piece isn't it? I love the Style 15, one of my teacher's students has one and I was able to hear it at a mini recital.

    Congratulations on your new harp! And what a beautiful piece for your first recording with this harp. Look forward to seeing what adventures you are going to have with your pedal harp! :)

      @derekharpson  2 года назад

      Thanks so much Victoria, I love it already! I had to pick a piece that didn't have any pedal changes, I'm not confident enough to do those in a piece yet. I had my first "Pedal Training" this weekend, I was assured it's a learning process and I'll get there.

    This is beautiful. Your harp sound gorgeous. I suggest the name Daphne.

    • @derekharpson
      @derekharpson  2 года назад

      It's been interesting getting used to how different it is. The first few days, it was like I couldn't play anything at all but it's coming slowly. The pedals are still intimidating but it'll come with time :D

      Because there are no lever changes you need to worry about the score is the same for both!

      Thanks so much Deedee. It's definitely an adjustment switching from a lever harp but it's well worth it. Hopefully I'll be able to share more harp songs soon!

    One of my favourite, you played so beautiful. She has three levels with her sheet music, which one is this?

    I really like this version of The Nightingale as well… have t played it in awhile. I wa s wondering if you have recorded or if you would - Angels Hymn by Rhett Barnwell. It would be amazing on your harp🦋

      @derekharpson  Год назад +1

      This is the first time I’ve heard Angel’s Hymn, what a beautiful song. I can definitely try to learn and record it

      Thank you ! It’s lovely. I actually play a Heartland harps full size carbon fiber harp. However, I’ve been entrusted with a 3/4 size harp which has no levers but huge beautiful tone! From a mother church! Long story short the man who played the harp was totally blind! And this gentleman has passed on and the harp languished in his church a year or year and a half! One day that pastor contacts where I just started going to church 6! Weeks ago and asks this pastor if he’s like to have a harp for church !!the new pastor said if you’d asked me 6 weeks ago I would ay I don’t know anyone who plays harp🙏! So here we are … I’ve cleaned strings harp inside and out tuning pins polished and probably have tuned this little girl 2 times every day… and what a voice! It literally rivals my big harp! I have recently found your RUclips channel and enjoy it , thank you!🦋

    My speakers are not the best, but I think the microphone is too close for the bass notes, making them too loud. Experiment with your mike placement and perhaps you can get a more ballanced sound. It is a lovely harp that would no doubt sound very full in a concert hall.

    • @derekharpson
      @derekharpson  2 года назад

      Yes, definitely a bit of trial and error in regards to mic placement. It sounds okay on my headphones but I think having the mic farther away should help clear that issue. Fingers crossed!
