Music for the Harp
Mark gets into Violins!

If you want to see lots of nice images of old and new violins, hear what they sound like, and learn more about stringed instruments, check out my new online shop - go on, it won't hurt!

You can hear me on Slainte's latest CDs

If you'd like to hear more solo harp pieces, the sounds on this page are complete MP3 recordings

The harp is a Pilgrim small harp, with levers to allow me to play in different keys. The 36 strings are gut or wire/gut, which allow me to play a wide range of sounds from quiet to very loud.
