My Instruments
Here I will show you some of my instruments in detail. The collection is always evolving so as soon as I try to take photos, something has already changed!
Native Flutes
The native flute is an instrument that has the ability to touch us deeply. I am especially in love with the deep notes, so I play a bass flute. It is a grandfather flute in B by The Southern Cross Flutes - best instrument I have ever had!
In the background you see my small flute in the key of A.
Koshi chimes
The Koshi are bamboo chimes from France that have the most beautiful sound that I have found in chimes worldwide. They come in 4 different tunings - fire, water, earth and air (ignis, aqua, terra, aria). I own a complete set and display them on a gong stand.
They are very soothing for sound journeys.
Singing bowls
I have a little collection of singing bowls, some antique, some modern ones. I'd love to have some crystal singing bowls as well in the future!
Shaman Drum
I play a shaman drum by David Roman Drums - they have an innovative air tuning system. Also they are very high quality and beautifully crafted instruments. It is really fun to go outside with the drum to the forest and drum there and connect with the elements of nature! Highly recommended!
Celtic Harp
Lewis Creek Jessie
My small harp is a Lewis Creek Jessie from De Troubadour Harpen Delft, NL - they ship their harps worldwide. It is a therapy harp with a very special and gentle sound.
She has 27 nylon strings, is 80cm tall and weighs about 3kg. She follows me everywhere, I even take her to all of my concerts and festivals. She is the best sounding travel harp I know.
Camac T Kadiou
My big harp is a 34 string T Kadiou by Camac.
She weighs 8 kg, is 1,25 m tall with a very low string tension and a full, warm bass. She has a full octave more then my travelharp, so I can play extended patterns in the bass.
This harp stayed with my Mom in Germany after I relocated to New Zealand.
HARP FAQ
I currently don't play harp anymore nor do I offer harp lessons - but I wanted to list these instruments for informational purposes as people are still looking for these two models frequently.
