TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The Harps are fitted with specially developed magnetic pick-ups that create sound from even the gentlest of breezes. Each instrument is channelled through a mixing desk. The sound is amplified through a compact PA system.A standard mains power supply is required. Roger Winfield can supply a 30 metre extension cable.Total area needed is approx 20ft by 15ft.Choice of site is important for a successful display of the Aeolian Harps. The site needs to be exposed to as many wind directions as possible, with access for a vehicle and a minimum amount of background noise.Some distance from any other events is helpful.An ideal site will attract the casual passer-by as well as those who will have seen the event advertised. In the absence of wind, pre recorded CD's are played.When displaying the instruments, Roger Winfield, a good comunicator is always on hand to discuss ideas and answer questions.
