Planxty Irwin on 22 string Paraguayan Harp Descrição do Vídeo:
This is the fifth harp that I have made and many
thanks to John Kovac for the designs and assistance.
This harp was made as a fundraiser for the Algoma Trad

The harp is made from ordinary ½"plywood for the neck,
Western red cedar 1X6 fence planks for the sides Finnish
aircraft ply for the soundboard an 3/16" ply flooring
underlay for the back.
I have only been playing harp since last june and it is
just starting to come together but it is a lot of fun
trying.

Nimia Pintos, a paraguayan harpist tells about a
get-together with the founder of Opus Dei:
"I dedicated this piece to the Father in a get-together
we had in Buenos Aires. He was so good to me and told me
I was a really great artist and that now he understood
why angels play the harp! What most struck me was the
peace and joy he had, in that personal conversation. It
made a big impact on me." (Nimia Pintos)

artistas, pero me encanta más la versión roquera de
Quique Calabrese. Viva Paraguay!
