This is great! Thank you for the tips Tina! Thank you VSL for the video! The harp is as magnificent as it is mysterious for someone who doesn't play it.

Thank you very much! I never dared to use harps a lot as I didn't really know how they work and how you CAN play it, what you are able to do with it and what not. This helps really a lot and is quite inspiring. :)
