Kontragitarre Players Our "Harp
Guitar brothers and sisters" across the pond

Q: What is the difference between a kontragitarre
and a harp guitar? |
Geoffrey Sisley, Contra-Guitarist |

Note: The entries below are in roughly alphabetical by either performer or ensemble. I don't have the benefit of firsthand knowledge of most of the performers or groups below. Thus I do not differentiate between full or part-time professional players and more casual players, nor separate styles of music. This list is condensed from Internet searches. It is only the tip of the iceberg - there are dozens of other performers and CD listings that come up during a Google search. I limited this (for now) to those with decent images and readily identifiable performers. If you happen to find yourself on this page, please say hello! If you think you should be on it, or have a new web link, just let me know. - Gregg Miner Also see the Music page. Disclaimer: |
