Harp Makers, harpers, Healing artists, & other fine folk:
My harps: Koa "Rowan Luchair," built byRick Kemper of Maryland (2007) Maple & Black Walnut "Tuilleadh," built by Dave Thormahlen of Corvallis, Oregon in 1993. Dave's wife Sharon writes beautiful, accessible music, with several books available. She also co-facilitates a harp circle which meets monthly in Corvallis, usually on the 3rd Sunday.
