My name is Nicholas Pike.
I'm a film composer, and this is an instrument called a wheel harp.
This instrument, the wheel harp, was designed and built by John Jones.
It's obviously all
built by hand.
And so John Jones and Sons, in conjunction with Antiquity Music here in
LA, are producing the instrument.
It's based on the principle of a hurdy-gurdy, where there's
a spinning wheel inside which vibrates strings.
And in this case, there are 61 strings, so
61 keys.
And the principle is, you hold down a key, and it pushes the string down onto
the rotating wheel.
And this pedal down here controls the wheel.
And so the deeper you
depress the pedal, the more intense the sound gets.
If you take a look on the inside here,
you can see the strings, and you can see some cotton around some of the strings, and also
the wheel, which has some rosin on it, which helps the string to vibrate.
So right now,
let me play you the main theme from the film Devil May Call, for which this piece was written.
