Subject: Just take a look..........

...at this short movie of our dear friend Henry Dagg and his Pin Barrel Harp.  This massive instrument has been designed and handbuilt by Henry and taken several years in gestation.  Every bend, weld, milled slot, peg, hammer, striker and gear has been made in his workshop, alone and undeterred by several setbacks.  It sounds wonderful but whether you like the music or performance, just marvel at what one man can do with the bit between his teeth.

There are several other Pin Barrel Harp movies on youtube but this is the definitive one.  Tony Banks has been sponsoring Henry as he can also see the genius of this eclectic and utterly unique Irishman and this is his defining work. 
 
Best,
 
Martin
