Player Sessions
Tuning the harp: theory and practice (2 of 2)
60 mins
Saturday July 8th
16:00 - 17:00 GMT +1

Event Overview
A two-part exploration of tuning. In the first half, we will summarise some of the science behind tuning, temperaments, pitch and consonance. We will also look through the manuscript and printed sources for traditional Irish harp tuning sequences and tunings. The second half will be entirely hands-on, working through the traditional tuning sequences on the harp, and listening critically to the intervals as we adjust them.
