#clarsach

It's ready to ship.

The fruit of more than 5 years of searching, saving, waiting. A Starfish Glencoe in maple: 34 strings, staved back construction, Camac levers, gut-strung. Tension high for a lever harp, designed for the Scottish clarsach tradition, not the lower-tension Irish tradition. Maple for purity of tone and faster decay, allowing for better articulation, especially on the bass end.

I've been low-key in mourning for my spectacular old Pratt Chamber Harp, which I was privileged to own and play for about 8 years, and finally had to give up because of where I live--super, super remote, in a tiny space with unpredictable heat and humidity.

This baby is half the weight of the Pratt and a fraction of the size, with a ton of projective power. It will fit in the back seat of a car and the corner of my room. I can't wait to hear its voice.

Next: it takes a journey from Ballachulish. Pouring rain here, so we are in a holding pattern for the next few weeks.

When it arrives, I'll record some noodling on it; don't expect much, I only play for myself, but it might be fun to hear how it sounds.

IS THAT A LYRE

it’s a clarsach !! which is a celtic harp. lyres are handheld so they are usually way smaller :3 i can play the lyre too but i have never owned one before

#clarsachs have a richer sound than lyres so i prefer them. they also sound more “rustic” than classical harps

[krekdon]

a moment of silence for the clarsach i could be buying rn if not for the other cool life changing plans i have over the next year

#kt talks #2 yrs worth of saving up going towards other things i cant even complain abt bc they are literally insane and i am so lucky #but i miss playing the harp so bad and have been saving up for so lonnnnnnggg😭😭😭😭😭😭 #why is everything so expensive #why do i have to me on the verge of being middle class now so cant even complain about being poor bc we are not in Poverty poverty anymore #just like. manageable poverty #could be more in poverty poverty #this is now 2 separate posts but yeah anyway. i miss clarsach :(

Queen Mary Harp - (National Museum, Edinburgh). The Queen Mary harp, (clarsach) dating from the 15th century or possibly before, is among the oldest surviving Celtic Harps in Scotland. The woodwork is richly decorated with scroll-work, geometric designs, and carvings of animals. According to a story associated with the harp, Mary Queen of Scots gave the instrument to a female ancestor (by marriage) of the Robertson family of Lude, in Perthshire. Another theory is that the harp previously belonged to an Ulster harp player who died in Scotland. The Celtic harp (clarsach), is believed to be the true and most ancient instrumental accompaniment of Gaelic song.

Risteard does know how to play an instrument. This would be a clarsach although through it, he is also very skilled with a harp. While he was made to learn it, he does legitimately enjoy it and finds it soothing in a way. It mainly is something he does in his area of the palace and with friends sometimes as he can be shy about playing. Not because he has fear but because...well, who really listens to that stuff when they have other stuff going on?

#{Risteard Headcanons #I was between this and a violin #but the history #of how it was apart of ruling class #and a very honored sort of skill #I knew which it'd be #also writing this because I will forget while on this hunt #for what he's into

Rhubarb ❤️✨

Ask me about my writing

Sorry for making you wait so long! I didn't see your ask until it was my bedtime, and today was a day at work. But I really had to think about this one anyway so there's that 😅

But thank you for the ask!! 💖

Rhubarb: a favourite snippet of dialogue.

It was so hard to pick just one 😭 I don't think I can pick just one favourite. But of the things I've written and posted (I don't want to spoil anything yet to come), one of my favourites is this bit from chapter 10 of Chords and Courtship. I worked so hard to get the dialogue in this scene right, and I'm really happy with how it captures then and the growing feelings between the two.

“Very little, I’m afraid,” she murmured. “I don’t have any musical training. A- someone taught me to play a short jig on the pianoforte. But I can’t read music. What does this mean?” she asked, pointing to the page.  

His heart fluttered when her eyes met his again. “That’s a chord.”  

“And a chord is?” Her eyes shimmered as she blinked up at him. She was sitting so close, he could count the freckles scattered across her face.

His breath caught in his throat. “A chord is three or more notes that are heard at once,” he murmured breathlessly.  

“And,” she bit her lip as she looked up at him, “what about when it is two notes?”

“That’s…” what was that called again? He had never forgotten a musical term since he was old enough to learn them. His ma often joked that his first word had been ‘clarsach.’ But with her sitting so close beside him, staring up at him with those blue eyes—made even bluer by her borrowed dress—and those rosebud lips and… and the way she was looking at his music with such reverence… He swallowed. “It’s called a- a…” did she realize how beguiling her smile was? Was his heart still beating? He couldn’t say if he was alive or- “It’s called a dyad.” His voice was nothing more than a croak.

Hey. So I saw you mention a while back that you were a harpist at one point. How did you get into that? And, was it hard? Asking because I’ve seriously always wanted to learn the harp

i was just lucky enough that my school had a clarsach teacher basically. it's a much more popular instrument in my country than others so there are a lot of harp teachers over here. i took lessons for around six years and then just continued to teach myself after that. once i got my grade eight in clarsach / pedal i started learning lever / orchestral and the lyre

if you want to get into playing yourself, i'd start by saying that harps are expensive. both to purchase and to maintain. they're extremely fragile and very susceptible to tiny changes in temperature and environment and changing broken strings constantly gets pretty expensive, especially if you use gut strings. that's why i recommend trying to find a teacher who will let you use their harp during lessons, and/or renting out a harp when you're still a beginner. this way you don't waste a significant amount of money on a new hobby that you might not stick with in the long run

if you can't do that and you have to actually buy your own harp, then bear in mind that prices vary a lot depending on the type, brand and model. either way, though, i reiterate: harps are very expensive. you don't need one of those huge golden classical ones to become a decent harpist but even the cheapest ones will set you back a fair bit. the one i own now was the cheapest model my favourite brand sold at the time and it cost nearly three thousand pounds. what i'd recommend doing is first deciding if you'd like to start by learning lever harp or pedal harp, and then finding the cheapest model of your preferred type first. clarsachs for example tend to be a lot less expensive than full sized orchestral harps. they're also just way easier to transport and shit like that

in terms of how hard it is to learn the harp, i wouldn't say it's hard at all. there's nothing about the harp that makes it inherently any more difficult than learning other instruments. personally i actually found it far easier than learning piano but maybe that's just me. as long as you can read both treble and bass clef (if you plan on learning from sheet music) and you take the time to develop and maintain a good technique in terms of hand placement etc. then you should be all good

i'm sorry that was wordy but i wanted to be thorough. i hope it helped and just tell me if you want to know anything else :3 i do know like. a Lot about harps

#i'm serious about the strings thing. my harp breaks a string like. at least once every couple of months. and some gut strings cost £30 #they're also a real faff to put on when you're first learning. but maybe that's my dyspraxia talking

[paulinecordiner]

Well today was our last week in Aberdeen’s primary schools as tutors for SC&T Youth! Cornhill Primary School – thankyou for your amazing enthusiasm and wonderful singing!

Once again, pupils from three classes had 4 hours – only 4 hours! of tuition in penny whistle, clarsach, guitar and … Scots Song!

Despite my ever-worsening laryngitis, the pupils of P4, P4/5 and P5 learned to sing The Silver Darlings, The Fisherman’s Lassie and The Barnyards of Delgaty as well as learning all bout the history of the songs and how they describe life in the North East of Scotland. I’ve posted in greater detail about all of these songs in the past few weeks, but I’ve not yet posted about the songs the pupils have been learning for their grand finale! It is of course Billy Connolly’s The Wellyboot Song – which probably doesn’t need much of an introduction! One of the teachers managed to find this recording of Billy singing it in 1976 -which I can share here cos there’s no swearing!

Noo I’m aff tae nae spik for a wik!
