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!
