Instrument With Glorious History Seems to
Have Entered on a New Era of Social Favor
Within recent years the harp has become one
of the social favorites in America, and music
houses in the leading cities throughout the
country report an increasing demand for and
appreciation of this instrument. There is much
connected with the harp to make it a favorite.
For a woman it is an artistic means of accom-
paniment, while its history appeals to the im-
agination of those of a literary or romantic
frame of mind. In the days of long ago each
Irish chieftain kept a bard, or larpe., n h s

harp spurred his lord on to valorous deeds, ur

In 1100 the Welsh had their Musical Canon
regulated by Irish harpers; besides, there are
not wanting grounds for supposing that Cam-
bria owes the harp to Erin. Caradoc (Wynne's
"History of Wales") affirms that the Welsh had
their instruments from the Irish. In Borde's
"Hook of Introduction of Knowledge," 1542, it
is stated that the Welsh harp at that period was
strung, with horse-hair.
"For my harp is made of a good mare's skyn,
The stryngs he

The Duke of Newcastle frequented, with other
notabilities, about 1730, the house of a certain
Maguire. near Charing Cross, London, who was
exceedingly skillful in his manipulation of the
harp. In 1792 a contest was held at Belfast.
Bunting writes: "The Irish Harpers were suc-
ceeded by a Welshman, whose execution was
very great; the contrast between the sweet,
expressive tone of the Irish instrument and. the
bold, martial ones of the Welsh, had a pleasing
effect as marking the difference of character
between the two nations."

instruments are particularly taken with the harp,
