Stan, I want to take a few seconds to thank you for this video. I watched it about 2 years ago, since then I made 5 harps and each one is so amazing. Thank You so much.

Thank you for the great resources! I only heard about aeolian harps yesterday and I'm going to try making a cardboard box one this weekend.

@rcoldman 7 лет назад

Thank you Mr. Stan Hershonik. I've made a few of these in my life, mostly using piano wire, old hollow fishing net floats or tin cans etc. as resonators, but I love your approach. I'll try this out myself. Great video!

@PamelaMartinez-pv4gj 3 года назад

I tried making a few in this style and to no avail yet. How much wind does there need to be to make it sing?

@phoenixrising1576 3 года назад

@@PamelaMartinez-pv4gj Its about getting the string at the right tension/Pitch. For example the nylon strings on a classical guitar work great especially if they are tuned around the G-B range below middle C. I got my classical guitar to work yesterday in the wind which really suprised me!

@taylorbernard545 6 лет назад

I guess you could call this an iHarp! Must make one - they are so cool.

I just learned of these last night in a novel I was reading. Had to come online to see what they were how they worked. I really want to do one. Cardboard box in brilliant Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on how to do this in an affordable way.

@youtubecommentor1338 4 года назад

wow, i came across this instrument reading 'Middlemarch', what was your book?

@shadesofidaho 4 года назад

@@youtubecommentor1338 LOL This was a year ago I posted and then forgot to try this. Darn . I also forgot what book I was reading I read so many. So I went back to read intro on Middlemarch and I do believe it could have been the same book. I also noticed it is free on Kindle right now and I often grab free kindle books. I just downloaded it as I finished my last book last night. HA who am I kidding it was more like 1AM this morning.

@DeeEfSea 9 лет назад

What is the main difference in terms of construction between a conventional harp and an aeolian harp? Are they essentially the same instrument but just used in a different way?

@christinaayres84 5 лет назад

Dee Ef Sea aeolian part of the harp is "wind". Played by wind , whereas a regular harp is played by hand plucking out the notes

@jondoes8222 7 лет назад

Hi I was wondering if you could rub resin from a violin resin bar on the strings. It is what makes the violin sing. I believe that if you rubbed the strings with resin from the bar, it would make the strings sing more from extra friction that the resin would produce. What do you think? I have not tried it yet though.

@jondoes8222 7 лет назад

Have you tried it? It will make more friction and the wind will not roll off so easy.

@jondoes8222 7 лет назад

You do not have to be so rude, you have not tried it as well as I but I will and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, if I'm right I'm right. That's what makes the world go around when people experiment and try. Nothing wrong with trying.

@juliebrown9724 6 лет назад

It shouldn't make any difference. The rosin is only used to make the horse hair on the bow grab the string.

@Ana_crusis 10 лет назад

I was just reading up a little on these things and apparently all the strings should be tuned to the same pitch. Apparently it's not the notes that are played by the wind but the harmonics on the notes.

@Ana_crusis 9 лет назад

***** Hi, No I'm afraid I haven't . I'll get round to it one day. I think you can probably tune it to what ever you like. I think you're right , different pitches would be better and produce different harmonics. this site seems quite informative: www.usca.edu/math/~mathdept/hsg/aeolian.html Anyway, hope it sounds great. Let me know if it worked well. :)

okay man this is not working. i used an old drawer and some fishing line and winded it up four times.. there are some nice notes by playing by the fingers but no sound in the wind, why??

are you still there? I'm looking on amazon (quarantined) and only see 20lb or 30lb test options... which way should I compromise? thanks for help :)

@PamelaMartinez-pv4gj 3 года назад

how fast does the wind have to be. I've made a few and no sound yet. any ideas why.

@CharlotteFairchild 11 лет назад

I have a hard time winding the strings tight enough. It would help to know what kind of knots you use. I do macreme` and Dad was a sailor, so I know a little about knots.
