The American expert on Aeolian Harps is a physics professor at Univ of
South Carolina by the name of Henry S. Gurr. He has conducted a world-wide
study of wind-powered musical devices and has designed a few of his own. I
do not know his email address, but you can reach him by air-snail at this
address:

You can also find a plan for making a small windowsill model Aeolian Harp
from a back issue of Woodworker's Journal, printed in July of 1992. Reach
the subscription department of this magazine at:

There is also one mail-order company in Minnesota selling a small
windowsill model Aeolian Harp, either finished or in kit form. They have a
home page on the Web too. Here's their address:
