Harps - Studio Comparisons

These sound samples were recorded specifically so the listener could compare the sounds of all the Musicmaker Harps. Each harp was recorded in the same studio with the same microphone (AKG C1000s). Great care was taken to position the microphone in the same place relative to each harp. That position would be just over half way up the soundboard, on the right side of the strings (from the perspective of the player) and about 6 inches away from the soundboard. Two recordings were made of each harp - one of a basic chord progression from C to F to G to C and one of a simple melody. Though these recordings are far from perfect they should give the listener a feel for how the Studio harp sounds compared with the Regency harp. These recordings were made on an ADAT recorder, transferred to a computer as .WAV files and then converted to .MP3 files.
