Hi,
The concept of a "plastic" harp might raise a few eyebrows... which
is why I'm interested. :-) I've seen some of John Kovac's Youtube
entries featuring the PVC harp, and I was surprised it sounded so
good. I wasn't sure if the harp actually sounded like that, or if the
sound could be enhanced by the recording process. You build them
yourself? How much are they? I'm not sure I could build one myself.
I think John Kovac is a genius
Completely nuts... but a genius
