I just adore playing my harp. It has become part of my day and I feel so pleased with myself when I achieve a new piece. Good too, when I can’t sleep, as I will get up and play in the wee small hours – G Turtle
The harp sounds fabulous, looks great and it is a pleasure to play. It can really hold its own against other instruments indoors or out. Have you tried playing one outdoors on a breezy day? – the Aeolian harp effect of the wind blowing the strings was amazing this afternoon when I was playing in the garden – David Jacob

We handcraft these harps in our workshop in Woodchester out of high-quality FSC Sycamore or local Ash timber and layered Birch. Now on it’s 4th generation (see our ex-hire harps to view old models), it has a bright, lively tone and a beautiful gloss finish, and it is the result of over 8 years and 250 harps’ worth of experience and improvement.
We try to make our harps from as many locally sourced materials as possible. As such your harp may be made from FSC Sycamore or locally sourced Ash, which ever is available at the time. Because of this the grain in the woods may vary as will the appearance of each harp. Rest assured, they all continue to look and sound beautiful.
The soundboard is made from aircraft birch plywood, so-called because of its use in aeroplanes due to it’s very high strength to weight ratio. This means that 3mm of wood can bear a high string tension, which in turn makes the notes ring beautifully. A thinner soundboard resonates better with the strings.
We can fit levers on harps at a price of £20 per lever. Please contact us if you’re looking to buy a levered harp or add levers to the harp you’ve already got.
