More information:
PROCEDURE: Students are required to adjust and glue together different parts of the instrument following the drawing plan. It is not just a kit: students will have to cut some parts of wood to the right size and fit the different pieces together, using a plan to work on the soundboard and adjust the response of the instrument. Students can shape their instrument as they wish with a degree of freedom to personalise it. They will then learn how to draw the instrument, how it works, what to do with the wood, which woods are preferable and why, how the shape and thickness and quality of the wood affect the sound of the instrument, how the sound changes if the design is modified, to understand the mechanical forces that affect the instrument, etc….
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this workshop is not just to build your own harp. It will also give you an insight into instrument making. By the end of the course, in addition to the harp you have made, you should have a thorough understanding of the relationship between the design of the instrument and the sound it produces. With this knowledge you will never look at a harp again in the same way. This course provides an excellent starting point for those wishing to take their harp playing to a professional level.
