A spontaneous improvisation on a recreated ancient Greek harp (Epigonion), near the site of an ancient Greek burial site in the Northern Greek countryside...living the dream!
The replica harp featured, was handmade in modern Greece, by Luthieros:

Not entirely sure if I was holding this harp the right way around here, but at least I wasn't struck down by the Muses for my effort!
Back in 2015, I had the honour of being invited to Greece by Luthieros, where I had the pleasure of demonstrating several of their wonderful modern recreations of the ancient Greek lyre, as part of their inspirational "Lyre 2.0" Project - dedicated to reintroducing the recreated ancient Greek lyre back into the hands of modern musicians...and part of my own musical mission, in 'continuing where the ancients left off', to create new music for these recreated ancient lyres.
