“By thumb, first, second, and third fingers; a chord of four notes.” Simon Chadwick 2008 |
This figure is the fourth in a series of four right hand (bass) chords given on page 27. All are arpeggiated downwards and this is pointed out in the text. Each is given in two alternative positions on the harp but using the same intervals and fingerings.
Simon Chadwick 2008
Lanchrobh - Full hand
Lánchrobh, a compound of the adjective lán, 'full', and crobh (see Ceann an chruibh).
