  May 2009

Lots of exciting news!

Pete's new harp, the "Yarden" is ready. It is relatively light in weight, has a beautiful, clear tone and will be reasonably priced. We'll be posting pictures on the website soon.

We have a beautiful, new batch of hand-painted door harps. I will be putting on the pictures over the next few days.

Maya is almost finished recording the new CD of her songs, which should be ready by June. What we've heard so far is AMAZING! The CD will be available via our website. She will be performing at Kfar Giladi on the 23rd of May.

We have a new batch of cheaper, painted didges, with great sound. I will be adding pictures of them soon. Check out our wide range of didges. Latest research finds playing the didge is a great solution to SNORING and SLEEP APNEA.

We stock Harpsicle™ Harps - low priced, well designed, sturdily built harps, which have the correct string spacing. An excellent selection for a first time harper, as well as for harp therapy programs.

We have four new door harp models:

Pete's 2 new designs, the TRIANGULAR and TRAPEZOIDE shapes, are already on sale in the studio. We will have pictures on the website soon.

The asymetric "Amoeba" which has 5 strings, making the sound a little louder.

The "Sting Ray", with four strings.

* See our new KALIMBA page!

We stock African Musical Instruments' amazing kalimbas and karimbas, as well as Mark Holdaway's CD's of kalimba music and instructional CD's. We also stock his books on how to play the kalimba.

 Woodsong- See our handcrafted door harps (a special gift for a special occasion) as well as our musical furniture and musical instruments.

Hi, I'm Pete Isacowitz. Welcome to Woodsong, where you'll find handcrafted door harps, didgeridoos (a traditional Aboriginal wind instrument), Celtic harps, marimbas, musical tables and musical sculptures, which I build at my studio in Rosh Pina, in the Upper Galilee, Israel.

Click here to watch an interview with Pete and Maya on Israel, Channel 10 News.

I have a wide variety of door harps, whose gentle chimes will fill your home with good vibrations. These door harps include the King David's door harp and the Hamsa door harp (a traditional Jewish and Middle Eastern symbol of protection). Take a virtual tour of our door harps, musical furniture and musical instruments.

It has come to our notice over the past year that there are certain shops selling door harps, and claiming that they have been hand-made by Woodsong, in Rosh Pina. Please note that all Woodsong door harps have the Woodsong logo on the back, and are personally signed by Pete Isacowitz, guaranteeing our usual high quality. Any door harp which does not have the Woodsong sticker, and Pete's signature is not a Woodsong door harp.

   

I hope you enjoy the tracks from our CD, "Woodsong". It includes the sounds of the door harp and musical sculptures, as well as me and my daughter, Maya, singing and playing on all the musical instruments: the marimbas, Celtic harp, didgeridoos, slide-didge, kalimbas, guitar and harmonica.

There are sample tracks from the CD throughout our website. Have patience- the sound takes a few seconds to download.

Recent research, reported in the British Medical Journal and other scientific publications (PubMed, Science Daily), as well as the Apnea Support Forum shows that playing the didgeridoo helps reduce snoring and relieves sleep apnea.

Read more on the subject and watch a BBC video which shows how the didgeridoo helps relieve snoring and sleep apnea.
