Edward Light

Edward Light (1746/7 – 1832) was an English musician and inventor of the harp-lute.

Little is known of his life; he was at one time organist of Trinity Chapel, Conduit Street, London. He endeavoured with ephemeral success to introduce improvements in the harp and guitar. He died in 1832, at the age of eighty-five.[1]
