The interview

Hello Gerard, thank you for joining us today for the interview. How are you today?

Good morrow madam! Aye, I am well.

That’s very good Gerard. So I have a few questions that I would like to ask you about the musical instrument the harp.

Aye! I know a thing or two about the harp. See when I was a lad, I had this…

Wonderful, so do you know anything about the medieval musical instrument harp?

Aye! A harp has a lot of strings and looks like a heart, is there a correlation, who knows?

I believe there may be a correlation between the two, but that is my opinion. Alright, tell me, in your opinion what would you say is a harp?

A harp is a string instrument that one would play with two hands, alas they would have to sit while playing as the harp can be quite tall and heavy, it is so large that the strings are vertical, and if I recall the harp rests on the ground, madam. If that is your real name! (Grunts slightly)

Hahaha, Oh boy…Let’s go onto the next question. Have you ever played the harp?

A harp, no…I have never played a harp…I once was at a tavern on the other side of the village drinking some brew, and there was a madam there playing the harp. Aye, it had a beautiful sound.

That sounds lovely Gerard, now onto the next question. What would you describe the sound that the harp makes?

(Another slight grunt) Madam, I believe the sound goes like this a bring a ding a ding. Let me explain harp plays a great melodic tune that if one were to listen to it play they would believe that they are in an enchanted forest full of little fairies.

Oh, that sounds nice, maybe I will listen to someone play the harp sometime.

Aye, madam, it is a true relaxing sound, it is.

The next question is a little more simple, If you have a chance to rename the harp, what would you name it?

Madam, I would name it the Heart of Strings, since it is shaped like a heart, and has strings.

Alright, I have two more questions for you today, If you could play the harp in any other way, what would it be?

Aye, madam, I wish the harp could be made smaller so I could put it on a plank of wood and make it mobile.

As we're nearing the end of the interview

Oh that’s really nice Gerard, I have one more question for you tonight if there was anything you would like to say to end this interview with, what would it be?

I would say “My name is Windhelm, I am a warrior, not some measly peasant, but a warrior! Tenth generation to be exact.”

Fascinating, Well thank you for your time today and for letting me interview you for the medieval musical instrument the harp.
