Classical harp music

These are score-based demonstration arrangements. The Horngacher viewer uses concert-harp samples, not a recording of the instrument for sale. The Bell Bird viewer uses samples from our Bell Bird recording, refined with synthesized decays; notes outside its C2–A6 range are moved by octaves to fit.
