Keaggy left the band in 1972 to pursue a solo career in the Contemporary Christian Music field. Sferra and Pecchio continued to perform together as Glass Harp for a while, adding guitarist Tim Burks and violinist Randy Benson, but eventually went their separate ways. All three band members have reunited a number of times, including several well received performances in Ohio, and a short tour in 2000. The 2000 reunion tour included a sold out performance with the Youngstown Syrnphony Orchestra, which was recorded and released as a 2 CD set, entitled Strings Attached. Sferra also played drums on Keaggy's Crimson and Blue album, and the 1993 tour in support of that release.
