Wire-strung Harp “Patrick Ball”
by Jay Witcher

The story, continued

My wife started a home business, our daughter was growing up, cats and a dog were roaming the house, and eventually the harp ended up in a back room.

1994 we moved to Oregon, and the harp sat in the garage, together with many unopened moving boxes, un-played but not forgotten.

In 2009 I finally decided to revive it. It turned out to be more than a weekend project.

Hand-forged brass eyelets
I couldn’t use the padding lacquer around them,
and had to use a brush
