The instrument is a work of art, and then she starts playing it. Gorgeous, haunting, soul-filling tone.
Vincent by Don Mclean
This lady plays like an angel incarnated as a human…..her ability and knowledge leave me feeling humble and grateful.
🎉
not only does this woman have an incredible charm but she enchants with her airy music...simply a blue dream!
After all these years I have come across an instument I have never seen before !! beautiful...why have I never heard of or seen one of these amazing instruments before ? Its amazing
That's what I was saying. Why had I not ever heard of this before. My husband played guitar and my son plays
Harp guitars were popular over 100 years ago, and they were on a lot of phonograph records. I collect records, so I'd seen the name, but only recently found what they look like.
@@teresagray1477To answer everyone's question, most of the harp guitars that were popular 100 years ago broke, long ago, because of the tension of those long strings against a hollow resonator that doesn't offer the same support as the neck. If you have one of these instruments you always have to detune it before long term storage. But also, they were hard to make. They were there because a double bass was too big and cumbersome for most gigs. Once the bass guitar was invented, people decided that was way easier.
I don't dispute that the instrument has a beautiful tone, but so much of what is mistaken as tone is actually the 'touch' of the musician. Beautiful.
You're right, despite its tones and appearance, because it sure would sound like a sheer annoyance in my magical hands...
horseshit, a shitty instrument sux no matter who plays it
@@allenhaywood9608 nuance is lost on you I guess
Why are people hitting the dislike button for this video? Gorgeous instrument and you play it beautifully. The sound is so unique.
Agreed. Can't make sense of the downthumbs.
No doubt they are all experts & could do better ....or they are, by nature, internally warped. It's all I can come up with to answer your question. It's obvious to me that she is highly skilled & in the process of learning an amazing & complicated new instrument. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing & thumbs up.
I think that about many videos: "who on Earth could object to this?"
For the sake of science I just now searched TH-cam for "kittens playing" and found many videos of exactly that. Many downvotes on each one. Bizarre.
@Martin Turner Agreed! You can ' hear ' the whole instrument as she plays , and she plays it wonderfully with that near magical sounds.
Either because they have nothing better to do other than to be a jerk or they're simply jealous...
Wow. Such incredible craftsmanship in this instrument. Then add an amazing musician. Pure heaven. ❤
Your choice of Don McLean's transcendent "Vincent" to demonstrate this remarkable instrument was divine, your execution, exquisite. When I first sung this song for a gig, I was so emotionally moved I almost couldn't finish. A love song about a painter! As McLean wrote, "Now I understand what you tried to say to me." My deepest appreciation.
I'm sensitive too. I can't sing a long without crying. Okay. I'm more sensitive. 😁
I'm reading Van Gogh, The Complete Paintings by Taschen and learning about the man and his torment, his friends, and his love for his brother, Theo. Seeing all of his artwork, is incredible. I've gotten 3/4 of the way through and I've stopped for a while, unable to finish right now because we know how it ends. :( McLean's Vincent played on the radio one day and it choked me up knowing now so much more about him as a human being. xx
I find Vincent mesmerizingly sweet and I have played it for some 10 years now Am a lefty guitarist of 72 yrs old.
"Ah, that shows you the power of music, that magician of magician, who lifts his wand and says his mysterious word and all things real pass away and the phantoms of your mind walk before you clothed in flesh."
- Mark Twain
I caught the tune right away and seeing it’s one of my very favorite songs of all time (and I’m 54) it made this even more delightful to have happened across!
The instrument is amazing and she just plays it like a true master. Incredible.

Átos 2.38 o batismo verdadeiro, literalmente no nome de JESUS. Igrejas unicístas!
Mr. Doolin: Absolute work of art and outstanding construction. Truly one of the last great craftsmen of musical instruments.
What a beautiful instrument and played in the hands off an equally gifted musician
The man who crafted this beautiful instrument, like those other masters who have built violins etc, had The Good Lord touching their hands and their hearts to bring out the music that is within.
Sometimes human beings really do transcend. The craftsmanship in the instrument, the virtuosity of Muriel's playing and arrangement and the beautiful songwriting of Don McLean. ❤ Just perfect.
The man that made that for you is a master wood crafter, and your playing is absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful sound.
who ever thumbs down this is just jealous that they can't play like that! amazing guitar and amazing player!!
Hard to understand. They dont like harp guitar? Music? Why not just pass by?
I myself gave it a thumbs down because I was disappointed in the fact that she really didn’t play it much in this video and that’s what I was looking for.
@@RevvedIron65 if dislikes hurt your feelings so much, ask youtube to remove the dislike button.
Yeah, I can't play like that, but I respect her for doing so. The tone is just beautiful.

Heavenly performance of a heavenly song. Blessings from London City of England.
Muriel, everytime TH-cam brings this by me, I watch it. SO BEAUTIFUL ! YOU and the HARP GUITAR and the MUSIC you play. THANK YOU !
Hello!! I’ve been struggling for 70 years trying to be a decent six string guitarist and here you are being a goddess playing a twenty string guitar. You are quite wonderful.
John Paiva
Me too, about 60 years. This is incredible.
It's not just a guitar but it's also a harp.
God Christ Jesus bless you all my family :" ) love you all and i pray blessings for your relationship with God
Finally, someone who can play one of these with taste and elegance and not sound ridiculous with all these harplike crescendos and such. Good on you, muriel.
I could listen and look at Muriel all day! I could ALSO listen to that harp guitar played by her all day! Thank you for the demonstration and short piece of music.
Might I suggest her Two Friends CD with Julie Adams, cello. When I first got it (many years ago from Julie) it stayed on my CD player for several weeks and was played constantly -- so very beautiful and quite relaxing. Can't say enough about Muriel's playing -- quite extraordinary.
What a beautiful sound ! Why are people disliking this video ? Such creativity and expertise should be applauded and respected.

Don't worry about the dislikers. Just enjoy for yourself. It is beautiful
@@dianehghzn7670 Or simply brought up on a regular diet of rap and Taylor Swift.
As a musician/composer all my life, I've had occasion to "go deep," "enter the haze," "journey with," and "float above" both melody and rhythm. While there, I found a door that allows passage to the music behind the music. These are the sounds of Heaven, the harmonies from which you simply do not want to return. I've learned that while there, however brief the encounter may be, a tiny bit of the soul of music is imparted. Once back in our 5-sense defined realm, you can "pick out" other musicians who have "been there." They've got a piece of that soul that enables them to offer the music behind the music. Muriel is one of them.
Best comment. I quoted you here..and shared this vid on my FB. Fantastic!
Very emotional words. They moved me.
@@heru-deshet359 ...as do your words, mate.
I think Muriel Anderson is a wonderful guitarist. She is playing with so much passion! 💗🙏
I closed my eyes and drifted away with the music. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Work of art played by a master. Sounds so angelic. Looks so beautiful.
Unbelievable, absolutely a wonderful sweet and smooth sound. And Muriel, you make it look like its easy to play. Hats off to you...
Glen...
Wow. You played Vincent beautifully, it made me cry. What a talented musician you are. Thank you for sharing your talent...
About my favorite artist.
🎼quelle virtuose Muriel cet instrument est aussi remarquable que vous avez a le maîtriser c’est mélodieux et très beau MERCI
6-2023 ☆Divine INSTRAMENT. Heavenly. First time I ever heard of & saw such an instrument. I love learning instruments of ALL NATIONS & CULTURES. music transends us all. 🎉🧡💙💜🙏🕊. No wonder God himself loves us singing & praising him. It's Heavenly.
Congratulations 🎉❤
Heavenly performance of a heavenly song. Blessings from the prison city of Auckland, New Zealand.
That is the most beautiful rendition of Vincent that I've ever heard.
Muriel Anderson is amazing. She's my size (extremely petite) and handles an instrument that I find absolutely daunting (and I play the actual HARP!). And I absolutely love that she pioneered sharping levers on the harp guitar. MURIEL FTW.
I play harp, and guitar as well. This is my dream fusion. I just wish there was some way I could spend an hour with a harp-guitar to try it out.
She's indeed amazing 😊😊... How are you doing Molly?

I really like hearing someone play a harp. Such a beautiful sound
What a stunning instrument. Master creator. And Muriel is a master on the Harp. Wow, never seen this before. You have a God given talent. God bless from South Africa.
I love the song "Vincent". Sounded great.One of my all time favorite songs done excellently on a most unique guitar.. Bravo.
That’s a beautiful instrument, a work of art, and Muriel is absolutely amazing.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Muriel...
2 string Harp guitar the Water by Johnny Cash hey Ya
A beautiful Woman playing beautiful music, puppies playing with children, a perfect golf shot. These things make me happy. God knew exactly what he was doing.
Thank you Muriel, exquisite Music for the soul, blessings, Marizella Correa
Beautiful Muriel guitar playing; it doesn't get much better, and a harp guitar is a technically different beast. I loved the late great Michael Hedges playing and got turned on to harp guitar from his incredible music. 🤘🏻❤️
Occasionally youtube offers a gem. A guitar with a similar range to a grand piano? The instrument maker did a great job of building something that stays in tune with all that tension and have it sound so beautiful.
I'd have been happier to hear the song first and explanations after. She's so good, I'd love to hear MORE.
Beautiful instrument and your playing does it Justice. Beautiful is all I can say. Thank you!
It's very annoying that anyone would downvote such a wonderful video. I thought it was excellent!!!
i can listen to you all day. what a blessing. what a gift. you're an angel. my wish is that you do a long playing disc album.
Amazing instrument and a wonderful musician. I cannot imagine the talent it needs to master it so well!
It's easy. She just plays it like a normal guitar and twangs the extra strings here and there for special effect.
Beautiful design, Mike. Excellent versatility, Muriel. You play so elegantly.
Gosh, that's a beautiful string instrument you've presented and played for us, thank you, Muriel Anderson. Surprising!
Phenomenal musicianship on a phenomenal instrument
Love the instrument, but I realize that it would not have attracted me without the artist. Muriel Anderson is amazing. I just became a fan!
Art in perfection, especially for the music instrument builder. Fingers of an angel.
What a marvelous instrument, thanks for showing us how it works. Sounds Divine!
I know nothing about music theory and technique, nor do I know how to play any instrument, but I love musical instruments and love to see musicians talk about them. This is a beautiful piece of work, and the song by the end was fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
Waaay back in mid '90s Muriel and a cellist performed in Knoxville TN. The night before their performance they gave a 'living room' concert at friend of a friend of mines home. My wife and I were invited with about 10-12 others. We all had dinner, then they rehearsed and broke down and discussed specifics of different segments of what they were going to play. We all sat stunned in that living room, amazed, smiling ear to ear and nearly speechless except for a million questions, like, 'How can you both play so well?' Don't remember the cellist's name, she was amazing also. I teased them about needing a drummer (me) ha! Both were wonderful people and master musicians, sharing that time with us, an unforgettable evening
Excellent rendition of Vincent. Beautiful harp guitar!!!!!
Wow!!! Beautiful instrument. I love that she is happier less the one string.
21 strings would just be gauche... 20 is just right.
Love this instrument - what a gorgeous sound, especially with Muriel Anderson to play and explain. Thank you.
Muriel, I was your chauffeur when you came to Fresno State back in 1989 also a guitarist under the instruction of Juan Serrano I just came upon this Video. I always loved your playing and see you have expanded your mind
Can't believe this is the first time today I have. Ever heard or saw a harp guitar. Interesting. She played beautiful.
What a beautiful harp guitar with an awesome tone. Muriel's playing is just a breath of fresh air.
👍
Incredible, I can barely manage six strings. Muriel plays like an Angel.
I can only manage four (tenor ukulele), so you're one-third further along than me. 😂
i dont even want to think about changing strings on it...
Beautiful beautiful instrument and music! Vincent would be honored.
Thanks Muriel for the heavenly sound.
This instrument, is absolutely amazing. It is outstanding the beautiful sound is Effortless, very peaceful to listen too. Thank you, for your talent
Muriel, the instrument and your playing are every bit as beautiful as you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😎
My dad makes (well, made, he’s retired) harp guitars. Complex and fascinating instruments. Fun to hear about this unique version.
Wow! That guitar not only looks good but sounds sensationally beautiful in your hands...
The craftsmanship that went into the making of this instrument is equally as grand as the musicianship of its owner. You are both amazing artists and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy what you have shared here. Bravo 👏.
This is jaw-dropping! I stumbled upon this recording accidentally. The instrument is out of this world and Muriel is a goddess of music. She is simply magic! Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Me too. It just popped up in my recommended row. Of course I had to see it. Astounding.
Wow! Beautiful & graceful.
That's the most beautiful harp guitar I've ever seen. The curves are outstanding. I also really like the nylon strings. That choice had never occurred to me before. Makes that McLean piece sound angelic.
One of my favorite songs played so beautifully on an instrument I've never seen before.....sometimes scrolling TH-cam is unexpectedly AMAZING!!!
Wow. You are something. That guitar is simply beautiful, BUT what's much more important than that, in you hands it sounds simply gorgeous! Carry on.
I have to agree!

I’m completely enchanted by you, and your playing do this amazing instrument!
I finally watched this video because it kept showing up. So glad I did.
Absolutely beautiful!! The harp is an ancient instrument now combined with guitar just magnificent !!
When she started to play I closed my eyes and went to another world, beautiful!!!!
That's a beautiful harp and you play even more beautifully. Thank you for sharing your gift and talent and the years of developing your virtuosity.
That was beautiful. Thank you.
That has got to be the most beauthful sounding string instrument I have ever heard, I always wished I had learnd to play the guitar instead of the piano and now I'm even sadder for times lost!
So mesmerizing to hear one of my all time very favorite songs played on such an exquisite instrument! It gives me chills! Thank you for sharing!
Humans are amazing, hard to get your head around six strings, hats off to this lady. 😎😎😎😎
Starry starry skies. Beautifully played.
Beautiful woman, beautiful instrument, beautiful playing! Wow!
I can't play a single instrument, but that thing is a piece of art, wow.
What wonderful sound.
Fabulous.absolutely gorgeous. Thank you
How special this instrument is! And it sounds gorgeous. I love the high-pitch strings extra-built on the lower part of her guitar.
I've never even heard of a "Harp Guitar" before today, and now that I have I think in the right hands it could make a song that could bring you to tears.
Young Lady, Thank You for sharing this Beautiful instrument and playing it so beautifully!!!
Thank God for people like you because I can’t do that magic
That was, simply, beautiful.
How beautiful!
Thank you, Muriel. 🙏
I can’t figure out what I’m more in awe of, the instrument, or the musician. Both are fantastic 🤩😁
And palyed every string in that performance at the end. WOW!
You speak well. You`re smart. You play somthing crazy! You hae gifts.Keep going Sister.
I have no talent in the musical area and it amazes me when I see and hear others make the sounds they produce with such ease.Such talent is precious and rare and should be immortalized. Thank you for letting me hear and see you.
Thank you for sharing your talent and the history of the instrument. I feel very blessed to see and hear your video
Bravo on the multi stringed Guitar well done ! The Snazz
Cette Harpe -Guitare a un son unique. Ce n'est plus une guitare, ce n'est pas tout à fait une Harpe, Mais cela fait un ensemble enchanteur. Une merveille. Merci Mme Anderson.
Thank You Muriel. No words can describe the beauty of the sound of that Guitar in your hands. Again thank you.
