Aaron's First Harp Build
Some photos of the process...
Detail showing inlays, harmonic curve and sound board.
Aaron received the "Industrial Arts" award two years in a row at his high school for his carpentry skills. He started building his own harp at the beginning of 2013 under the guidance of Master Harp builder Daniel Schmitt of Diamond Harps Canada in West Kelowna, BC.
He worked hard through his school holidays to complete the build, busking at the weekends to fund the project. He used a community funding project to raise the last $1500 needed to complete the build. He is so grateful to everyone who contributed to make this build possible.
