Sometimes called harmonic harps, wind harps originated in ancient Greece (circa 6 BC) and flourished throughout the Renaissance era. Aeolian Harps are rare, beautiful instruments designed to be played by the wind;free of the touch Of human hands. Harmonic wind harps trnspose the sprit of the wind into spontaneous , muilti-layered music in time to natures rhythms. Thier vibrant voices sing pure harmonic tones that range from deep, pulsing bases to soaring sopranos. A variety of winds, harps, and string tunings combine on these selected recordings to produce an electric repertoire of definitive music. Built by Greg Joly,the Grand Aeolian Harp stands 7.5'tall and is strung with forty-eight 5'2" strings. It plays a rich spectrum of powerful harmonic tones.
