Harp Lutherie for me started out when my wife expressed a wish to play harp. At that point I simply had the thought "I could build one of those"; but when she was playing a cheap 19 string "hack-astanie" harp, I had the thought "I could build a better one of those". 3 years and 15+ harp builds later, I could no longer say I'm an amateur Harp builder; and I needed to start selling my harps since they now outnumber our kids....
