North County's Museum of Making Music displays 30 rare, historic and contemporary instruments in "Harp Guitars: Passion, Imagination, Artistry," a new exhibit running Jan. 15 through July 30. Showcased are lyre guitars, harp mandolins, European and American guitar-building techniques from the early 1800s through today, and the modern creations of Fred Carlson, William Eaton and Steve Klein. A historically rare instrument that originated in Romantic-era Europe, the harp guitar is an extended-range guitar with any number of strings.
