Last February I was awoken by the heart stopping crack of the top of my harp.

Luckily, The amazing Rick Kemper of Sligo Harps was able to put it back together and it's practically as good as new!

I got to play a few of Rick's harps and they look and sound absolutely beautiful. If you're interested in Celtic harps. I urge you to have a look.
