A decorative touch for mee harps!


I was impressed to learn that putting inlaid wood into a harp was not as difficult as I had imagined before learning how it was done. In fact, before I would have thought some rare species of person had the time and patience to cut precise, tiny pieces of wood and fit them perfectly into the groove along the side of the harp. Nay, not so. It turns out, they make a large piece and then slice thin sheets of the inlay for wood projects such as harp building. Brilliant. And it looks brilliant against the cherry and bubinga harps below.

Fascinating process. Thanks for sharing. However the best part about the harp is hearing you play it!!
