A guest who appeared on the latest episode of The Repair Shop was left absolutely blown away after her harp was completely transformed.
Tears were flowing during the latest instalment of The Repair Shop as epic transformation left a guest emotional.
On Wednesday’s edition of the popular BBC programme, Lilian Russell from Newry in Northern Ireland was the first guest to present the first her harp to new experts Alex and Nigel Tree.
This father-son duo were taken aback when they learnt that this particular harp was built by Lilian’s father, a complete novice, in his field.
As a young girl, Lilian always wanted a harp, but due to financial constraints, her family couldn’t afford one. So, her father, Jimmy, took it upon himself to build one using a book he borrowed from the library.
Lilian was heartbroken when the harp her father crafted for her was damaged during a house move, resulting in cracks in the casing and a wobbly base. Alex and Nigel’s work was cut of them as they tried to restore the harp to its former glory.
Lilian also wanted to be able to play the harp again and relearn the fantastic instrument her father made.
Later on in the show, the guest couldn’t believe the restoration when she returned back to The Repair Shop studio. The harp was looking as good as new as Lilian was left in tears.
Talking openly to the experts, she said: “I can let go of the guilt and just be proud now to have it.
But this wasn’t the only suprise in store for Lilian, as the experts also brought in a professional harpist to play for her.
One viewer said: “The harp is a cool instrument #therepairshop.” Another jokingly wrote: “Wonder if the lady from Derry had to pull any strings to have her harp repaired.”
While a third added: “That harp looks in surprisingly good condition for before restoration.”
During the emotional episode of The Repair Shop, viewers were taken on a heartfelt journey as Lilian Russell’s treasured harp was lovingly restored by the talented experts, Alex and Nigel Tree.
The story of how Lilian’s father, Jimmy, built the harp for her from scratch was truly touching, showcasing the power of love and determination. Despite facing financial challenges, Jimmy’s DIY project turned into a beautiful masterpiece that brought joy to his daughter.
As the experts worked tirelessly to repair the cracks and wobbly base of the harp, Lilian eagerly awaited the moment she could once again play the instrument that held so many precious memories. When she finally laid eyes on the restored harp, she was overcome with emotion, tears of joy streaming down her face.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail that Alex and Nigel put into their work was evident, with the harp looking as good as new.
The surprise addition of a professional harpist playing a beautiful melody for Lilian was the cherry on top of an already unforgettable experience.
The music filled the room, capturing the essence of the harp’s elegance and grace. Lilian’s reaction was raw and real, a testament to the impact that music and sentimentality can have on the human heart.
Viewers of the show took to social media to express their admiration for the craftsmanship displayed on The Repair Shop.
The harp, once broken and damaged, was now a shining example of resilience and restoration. The love and care that went into bringing the harp back to life were evident in every note that the harpist played.
