Excuse my ignorance but could you explain a bit what folk harp is? I assume you play like a normal full size harp? Do you just mean playing non-classical?

Edit: Er, ok having semi-educated myself on Wikipedia I see that folk harp refers to a smaller version of the harp. So what sort of music do you play on it?

The folk harp is smaller than a classical harp, but you change keys based on string levers as opposed to pedals. And although it is smaller the type of music you can play on it is justas challenging (if not more challenging) than the music you would play on a classical harp. I have been playing for 15 years now and I love it!

I play djembe, though that's not incredibly unusual. Just for my area.
