[Harp-L] Low A Harp

["Tim Moyer - Working Man's Harps" <wmharps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently built a low A harp (an octave lower than a standard A) for 
a customer, and I loved it so much I recorded this little ditty so I 
could remember what it sounds like:

Then I went back and recorded a solo track over it with a regular A, 
just for fun.  This was all done on the computer; I just knocked off 
this one take.  I thought you might enjoy it.

The low A was a beeswax sealed wood combed Marine Band, tuned to 
19-limit just intonation for full-bodied chording.  I recorded the 
regular A part on an equally tempered, Paddy Richter tuned Golden 
Melody from my gig set.

Time to go back and build one for myself!
