Soaring notes at d'Leedon

Singapore

CAPITALAND'S d'Leedon last Saturday hosted the Earth Harp, the world's longest playable stringed musical instrument ever set up, at the development's celebration party. There, Lim Ming Yan, president and group CEO of CapitaLand Ltd, tugged the strings of the Earth Harp with musician William Close (above). At the event, Close set a world record as he played his new piece titled Mini Symphony For The Earth Harp on the instrument. The length of one of the harp's 16 strings - 291.71 metres - was certified by A*STAR's National Metrology Centre and the record-setting feat was recognised by the World Record Academy. As at end-September, the 1,715-unit d'Leedon condominium had seen sales of more than 85 per cent.
