We have made this Morwenna Rose Performance Harp for the harpist who is no longer a beginner and wants an instrument that fits with the progression they’ve been making on the instrument. We listened to harpists and harp teachers and our team of luthiers put their passion and experience together to build what we hope you agree is a spectacular harp.

Hand-chosen FSC® sycamore or local Ash forms the neck and pillar, meaning that each harp has it’s own fingerprint, often with rippling to complement the grain.

Our lightweight FSC® birch soundbox projects a bright and beautiful tone.

We try to make our harps from as many locally sourced materials as possible. As such your harp neck and pillar 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.

Aircraft birch plywood is used for the soundboard. This modern material has an incredible strength to weight ratio, meaning that it is light enough to project the vibrations of the strings while strong enough to withstand the high string tension needed to allow the harp to ring out beautifully.

Strung with Aquila Corde’s synthetic gut “Sugar” strings, made in Italy out of a recently discovered bio-plastic. As well as being more sustainable than fluorocarbon strings, they’ve been shown in laboratory tests to have 18% more projection of sound (measured in joules) and 24% more sustain.

Industry-standard Camac levers are used for reliable, accurate semitone changes. These same levers are used on harps that cost three times the price of this one (but don’t sound any better, in our opinion).
