    Wow. Beautiful! Too bad it’s out of tune slightly. Must be hard to get those low strings perfectly in tune.
    Is this guy really Canadian?

    hmm…more used as a bass.. but the guitar sounds lovely …and the tune was a lovely chilloutchoon!

    what is the purpose of the 5strings above there???bass string??no fret board…due to bigger body…it can project nice tone and volume…

    My favorite instrument of all time. If only I could play one. I also love how Don Alder uses the instrument.

  15. 1BustedMyth on February 12th, 2010 4:24 am

    Amazing !, I’ve never seen one before!
    What a sound, love it.

    It’s called a harp guitar. It has the standard number of guitar strings but also includes the bass register strings to expand the possiblities for composition. There are many great players composing on Harp guitars. Look for Michael Hedges who brought his own unique style to the Harp Guitar.

    Is this the HarpGuitar made by the Malaysian luthier, Jeffrey Yong?

  18. playthatfunkymusic56 on February 19th, 2010 11:11 pm

    @henselot
    Not this particular harp, but alder does have a Yong harp guitar and really likes it

    so do you when you post a comment like that.

  20. NinieofNewYork on February 23rd, 2010 11:35 pm

    I can’t get enough of this, oh so, lyrical song played by your magic fingers Mr Alder, and yes, the harp is beautiful but dormant until you caress the strings to make those smooth tunes of yours !!! Bravo !

  21. sharkhead7854 on February 27th, 2010 8:30 am

    Did this man teach Andy Mckee or something? He has the same guitar and uses the same techniques shown in Alder’s tapping videos. o.O

  22. carlos50105 on March 2nd, 2010 4:48 pm

  23. melkor6666666 on March 9th, 2010 2:14 pm
