About John:

“I am available for bookings, providing either solo harp music or a string band for weddings, corporate or special events.

As a harpmaker, I have constructed well over 200 folk harps such as those seen in the picture to the right. I play each and believe that I learn something after building every one. I’m constantly experimenting and never try to do the same thing twice.

I’ve lectured about harpbuilding at the Library of Congress, and have been invited to perform at 3 international harp conferences. I’ve authored two articles about harp construction in harp journals. My designs have been reproduced in kits, videos, and books.”
