Harvi Griffin, a pioneer in electric harp, grew up in Detroit and at age 14, he was playing the piano and stringed and wind instruments. He first became interested in harp under the instruction of Velma Froude.  While continuing his private instruction with Froude, Griffin earned a degree in arts and drama from Michigan State University.  He died in 2005.
