THE ARTFUL SHOPPER
Anyone looking for an unusual music experience can sample psalters and harps, instruments that were invented around 3,000 years ago, at the charming Harps on Main in nearby Rising Sun, (812) 438-3032, 222 Main St. Less than 30 minutes from Boone County, there is much to see in the historic retail venue of this winner of Indiana's Small Business of the Year Award
for 2001.
A favorite at Summerfair and best-of-show winner at nationally recognized art shows, William Rees' full-size, handcrafted harps are truly works of art, retailing at $1,000-$5,000. Chosen by professional recording artists, these are heirloom-quality instruments for serious musicians. But harps are also available in a fun beginners' version in a choice of unlikely colors like licorice, bubblegum and blueberry(Harpsicles, $295).
User-friendly Renaissance Psalteries (starting at $85) will tempt both children and adult beginners. Also available, harp rentals ($50/month).
Don't miss their extensive assortment of Celtic gifts and jewelry. New this fall, look for a line of
T-shirts, hats, scarves and satchels featuring Celtic graphics (Ts start at $16). Celtic porcelain jewelry ($16) will supplement a best-selling line of silver pieces, some handmade ($5-$180).
And be sure to take a peek at the back-room workshop, domain of luthier William Rees assisted by sons Bryant and Garen. Look for Eleanor, their affablegolden-doodle puppy.
Take a drive to Rising Sun this afternoon to visit Harps on Main and other retailers holding special Sunday hours. Visitors can stop by the pavilion on the river between 2-4 p.m. for Music in the Roundfeaturing soft guitar by Tre Lunes.
