| Post subject: | My Harp guitar on Youtube |
In January I sold the first harp guitar I made to a young British acoustic guitarist Dale Campbell. He has posted a video on Youtube of the beginnings of a song - the guitar is in GABCDEDADGAD tuning and is fitted with a custom set of K&K Pure Mini Western - three transducers on the main and two on the sub-bass strings. It's nice to see it being really played: |

Fantastic Dave, no wonder your one of my favorite builders, you just have to be proud of building an instrument that can produce sounds like that. Cheers Kim |

Wow Dave! That is a fine sounding and looking HG. Are you happy with the K&K Mini Westerns? They have 5 transducers? Seems to do a good job of getting the whole sound out. Cheers, Danny |

Sounds very good. I have a customer asking for a classical with a pickup - I see K&k offers one for nylon too, I'll need to dig around the net about them. |

At last we can hear it played properly  . Dave that's superb, great to get your guitars out there and recognised. When someone hears one of your guitars and says that he must have it, that should make you really proud. Colin |

Everything works so well in that clip. The guitar, his composition, playing, and the effects are all great. |

James Orr wrote: his composition, playing, That is definitely the coolest looking harp guitar I've ever seen by far, bravo . A most contemporary take on the instrument. I may have to figure out a way to steal some of your styling cues and project them on my banduras. Sound is really nice too.I'm very torn on whether I like the piece though. (Yes I know this belongs in off topic). At first I was completely underwhelmed because it's almost harmonically too simple (embarrassingly, kind of a snobby reaction) but I'm warming up a bit. I could go on, but It's probably not the place. p.s. you don't have any photos that you could post do you? |

Hats off to any builder who can get a sound that large from a smallish body. Very nice, Dave...as usual. Steve |

Woooo Hooooo! I love it, Dave! He's pulling those big fat submarine notes out with ease. Great harp! Dennis |
