The Burmese Harp: Its Classical Music, Tunings, & Modes (Northern Illinois University Monograph Series on Southeast Asia, No. 1)

Williamson, the leading Western authority on the Burmese harp and its music, explores the history of the instrument and the connection of its music to the harp's oral teaching tradition.
