Shining Waters
Solo Harp Collection of Music ranging from Celtic to Contemporary

On Shining Waters I used my Celtic Harp hand made from cherry wood. I call her Summer since she was first strung on the Summer Solstice. Summer has a deep rich tone that leans best towards producing beautiful Celtic Music. On the soundboard there are intricate hand painted Celtic knot work designs with animal/bird interlace. Celts believed that such symbols helped them attain the characteristic of that creature. I have infinity toward song birds thus imagine mine to be a Nightingale.
