Sunday 4.30pm -6pm TUTOR: Bill Taylor

An opportunity to try out the beautifully resonant wirestrung
Highland clarsach. While these were properly
played with fingernails at least 2 mm long, that’s not
necessary for this taster class. The technique we use
is often called playing “in the stopped style”, where the
finger pads damp certain strings to stop excessive
ringing and allow us to hear a clear line for the melody,
the decoration, or both. Play a few simple tunes, touch
on its history and feel free to ask questions. A limited
number of wire-strung clarsachs are available
