the word 'clarseur' I recently have read a book called the White Raven which deals with the time of Tristan and Isolde. In it, the author refers to a 'clarseur' in connection with the playing of the harp. Is this the ancient gaelic term for a harpist? I have searched the internet, but have not found this word anywhere. Thank you for any help you may provide. Karen Posted by Karen on 03 April 2007 Yes, in modern Scottish Gaelic the spelling is clarsair, and means someone who plays the harp, or harper. Tristan was a harp player. Clarseur may be an old spelling or perhaps the cornish version.

I'm afraid I don't play pedal harp, this society is for the much older style wire strung harps that use a very different technique. Try looking at the main clarsach society website in the links page,they play gut strung harps. Best wishes. Posted by Karen on 23 February 2007 |
