EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of innovation and creativity as George Morris, a visionary inventor from Wales, tests his groundbreaking creation - the 12-volt portable electric Welsh Harp. The year is 1988, and the breathtaking backdrop of Snowdonia's hills in North Wales sets the perfect scene for this musical milestone. George Morris, an accomplished harpist, was determined to amplify the traditional Welsh Harp, allowing it to be played in various settings without the need for external power sources. His solution was a 12-volt electric harp, a game-changer in the world of harp music. In this image, Morris is seen plucking the strings of his invention, the harp's wires glowing with the gentle hum of electricity. The harp, equipped with an integrated amplifier and battery power, delivers a rich, resonant sound that can be heard clearly in the tranquil surroundings. The car in the background hints at the potential for mobility and freedom that this invention brings to harp music. This photograph is a testament to the power of curiosity, ingenuity, and the human spirit. George Morris's 12-volt electric Welsh Harp paved the way for a new era of amplified harp music, allowing musicians to share their artistry with audiences in various settings, from the concert hall to the great outdoors.
