My Harp guitar on Youtube

Post by Dave White » Fri Apr 10, 2009 9:55 pm

In January I sold the first harp guitar I made to a young British acoustic guitarist Dale Campbell. He has posted a video on Youtube of the beginnings of a song - the guitar is in GABCDEDADGAD tuning and is fitted with a custom set of K&K Pure Mini Western - three transducers on the main and two on the sub-bass strings. It's nice to see it being really played:

Yes, it's so great to see one of our instruments being played by someone that knows how to get the best out of them. Thanks for posting the link Dave. Very inspirational.

Very impressive! A surprising sound and not what I imagined just before I pressed the play button.You should be quite proud of that one Dave.
Cheers from Micheal.

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Not sure why but I could not reply to this thread last night.

Thanks for posting Dave, I love to hear music out of the instruments I see posted on this site. Always great to see them But I would hear every one of them too if i had the chance.
