Aeolus, the ruler of the winds. Very nice.

That’s very cool. Would love to hear one.

Beautiful instrument!

Beautiful and well done. I made heavy bridges for mine and never got it to play. Making new lighter versions based off violin bridges has been on my to-do list

I’ve been looking at plans of those in my todo folder for quite some time now. Is yours sized to fit in a window? The plans I have say to put it in a window and close the window till it almost touches the strings.
Good luck with it I hope it sounds nice, looks like a nice job on the build.

Great job! I can hear it now. (it was breezy in Dallas today.)

-- Thanks for all the lessons!

Thanks for the feedback! Wind is in the forecast for today so I will give it a try. The windows on my home are casement so i will fit the harp between a sliding door. I took a board and cut it to fill in the space between the door. @Rick make the bridges and keep me posted.

Oh great! And now I find yet ANOTHER thing I want to add to my “I want to make one of these” list!
Geeze, everytime I visit this site the list gets longer and longer! :-)

-- Perform A Random Act Of Kindness Today ... Pay It Forward

This is really nice! I was wondering if the wind blew today? How does it sound?

-- Free your mind, the rest will follow

I’m very!! interested in having a wind harp created and I love this one. Any interest out there? email me: paintdifferent at gmail

It’s an interesting instrument. Nice work!
