Sounds fabulous. I love your blue.
Hello from France, ❤
Very interesting video about harp kit.
Warmly
Eve
Wonderful 😍
This is fabulous and so informative. 💜 Thank you for making this video. I might have to build a harp kit someday. My brother is a luthier so I think it would be a fun project to do together.
Beautiful sound!
Yay for beautiful harp builds! Thanks for the video Victoria!
Thank you for sharing. I’d love to hear about how you did the blue stain finish. I’m debating about staining my harp blue and have been scared doing it
Thank you for this video. I like MusicMaker harps very much. I think they have a wonderful sound. I have the Sonnet, which they built, not me. I'm considering the Voyager, if I decide to buy a 34-string. I built a harp from a kit, a double Fireside. That experience also made me appreciate a professionally built harp, especially putting on the levers. That was the biggest challenge. At this point, any harp I buy will be professionally built. But I do concur that building at least one is a very valuable lesson in understanding the harp.
I loved watching your harp be built. So beautiful. Sounds lovely. Thank You Victoria
Thank you for the chats about the levers when the harp was being built! ;) - Victoria
Thanks for making this video! What an awesome project this was! The result of the harp is really great, both sound and looks.
Thanks for explaining so very well how you and your family experienced it!🥰
I really enjoyed your video. You ended up with a beautiful Harp that also sounds wonderful, and lovely memories.
Very insightful and pleasant video. The instrument looks and sounds beautiful!
Your husband did a beautiful job ❤
Do you think this is doable for someone with advanced woodworking skills but no prior knowledge of harp anatomy or theory?
My husband think it is! The only harp specific experience or knowledge that I think would be helpful is what a lever does; it could help you with troubleshooting such as placement. - Victoria
@@TalkingHarps Thanks! I'm sad that this model is gone, and the replacement won't have a kit. I need more than the 34 strings I currently have! Interesting video though - I'm trying to see if anyone else makes a 36 string kit, but not coming up with anything yet.
@@TalkingHarps p.s. I've love it if you did a video on the Heartland carbon fiber harps, but my sense is those folks are hard to get a hold of.
