harp

NUSWS has an official harpist, I knew it only yesterday.

This is my first time to touch a harp, help to take it out and watch the principal harpist tune the harp. I even watched her playing the harp. You know, not always have chance to watch a pure harp solo.








Gold plated, but the harpist complaint that it was very dirty already.


Pedals for chromatics.



The principal harpist told me many things about harp, such as "this harp is concert grand harp, there is a smaller version called lap harp", and that "lap harp is easier to play than concert grand harp, because the string are less tension." I was also told that this harp is 187cm tall, taller than most people in the band, maybe except Mr. Tan.
