Whilst working through the journals of the J. G. Morley harp company, the following entry (20 July 1892) grabbed my attention. It refers to a Grecian harp (no. 11) by Head of Dublin. I've not encountered this maker before. That the harp is described as 'Grecian' suggests that it was made before c1850, and it is plausible that Head had some connection with Egan. Can anyone shed any light on this maker?

Dear Mike (and all), Perhaps needless to say, I don't know of the Dublin maker Head. I suggest that it would be a helpful project for this community to compile and display a working list of harp makers known to their contributors only from a single source. Others might then recognise them or suggest ways of making progress. Best wishes, Lewis.
