   Amazing and beautiful, but why does he intentionally make string squeaks? modern classical guitarists work so hard to eliminate those squeaks!

   Simply amazing!
   One question, though. How does he get that chorus-y sound? Is it some sort of distortion (because it kinda sounds a little like artificial reverb) or is it the harp’s natural sound?
   This guy plays the instrument so differently I don’t know if the harp can actually do that or not :p

   You can forget Vollenweider, check out the hundreds of harpists in Colombia and Venezuela. These guys are incredible, like “dream theater criollo”  youtube.com/watch?v=HpDG5H1TYME
