The Earth Harp

JohnT was watching the One Show on BBC where they demonstrated the "Earth Harp". Never heard of an "Earth Harp" so here's what it is, and what it sounds like.

Earth Harp

Featured snippet from the web.
The Earth Harp is the largest stringed instrument on the planet. It was developed by William Close in 1999. The body of the instrument rests on the stage and the strings travel out over the audience attaching to the back of the theater, turning the theater / concert hall, architecture and landscape into the instrument.

Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.
