WHAT DETERMINES THE CHARACTERISTIC SOUND OF A HARP?
o What happens when you pluck a harp string?
o What influences the way the string sounds?
o What part of the sound does the string contribute?
o What happens at the soundboard after the string is plucked?
o What is the role of the soundbox / body? What about the holes?
o Where does the harp radiate sound from? Nearfield and farfield.
HOW CAN I USE THIS INFORMATION TO GET THE SOUND I WANT FROM MY INSTRUMENT?
This event is open to the public. No registration is required.
