[herminator]

This weekend I was at the german harp meeting, THE annual meeting of german folk harpers and many others.

From many diffenernt traditions they come:

Anne Aufret from Brittany

Erik Ask-Upsmark from Sweden

Park Stickney, one of the worlds best Jazz harpers

And ….MY SON!!

Everywhere people sat and played


On harps


And other instruments

(this is a latrinophon!)

But on this forum I have to add this guy, Fionn, in a ancient Gordon

So I was not the only kilt wearer…

[herminator]

Lots of harps:


And lots of children, some of them already quite good


All in all a most enjoyable time with lots of really wonderful music!!

Lovely pictures of beautiful instruments.
Though there do not appear to be any pictures of you playing your harp kilted.

When I saw the subject line "German Harp Meeting" I thought that the pictures were going to be a bunch of Germans' drinking Harp from Ireland. But wow, those are some nice looking harps. I've always loved the sound of a good harp/player. Thanks for sharing!
