Although I listen to music for hours every day I'm embarrassingly devoid of knowledge when it comes to how it is made, time signatures, keys etc. And this. What are the implications of doing this? #harp

Émilie plays a chromatic harp, developed by the luthier Philip Volant. It features all chromatic notes on a single row of aligned strings.

"I am not a harp player"(!) but my guess would be a very different playing technique, but when mastered, probably brilliant for jazz or other 'less structured' music!

You do realise BTW, that 'somewhere on the Fedi' there will be a harp player going "oo, oo, I know!"

@bytebro Well I did use the tag! But what's a chromatic note?

@keefeglise @bytebro Jargon, innit. Chromatic means all the piano notes (black and white keys), as opposed to ‘diatonic’ which is only the seven white key notes = (for example) a major scale, and almost all folk tunes and nursery songs.
