I had an amazing time designing and building these acoustic harps for Andy's Gravity Harp project, which premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July, 2011.  They're made of walnut with spruce soundboards, and sound like a cross between a Celtic harp and a Chinese Pipa.

The final prototype...a far cry from earlier designs.
