Luchair by Sligo Harps

The Luchair is a lever harp manufactured by American harp maker Rick Kemper.

See showroom or website for pricing.

## Product Design & Accessories

According to Sligo Harps website:

> "Top players from Ireland and Scotland seem to prefer small harps with lighter tension that can respond to the blazing ornamentation they put into their music.  Luchair (Gaelic for joy or delight) incorporates the best features of these harps.
>
>

> Because of its portability, playability and wonderful sound, this is currently my favorite design.   It does require a carefully profiled soundboard to get good volume from the lightly tensioned Savarez fluorocarbon strings.   In a lighter wood like cherry, this harp weighs 16 lbs and is just about four feet tall – making it imminently portable for the traveling harpist."

St. Brigid of the Harps

St. Brigid, on a journey, seeks shelter from an Irish king. However, she finds the king, his office, and his harpers absent. The king's sons offer St. Brigid what hospitality they can, and the evening's conversation turns to their king's absence.

## Featured Excerpt

It was not in the nature of things that a Celtic saint should despise music or poetry. St. Brigid being once on a journey, sought hospitality for herself and her sisters in the lios of a petty king. This king and his chief officers, including his harpers, were absent, but some of his sons did all that religious reverence and a hospitable spirit could for the suitable reception of their honoured guests. After a frugal meal the hosts and guests continued an interesting conversation, during which Brigid, observing the harps suspended on the wall, requested the princes to favour her with some of the ancient melodies of the country. "Alas, honoured lady!" said the eldest, "our father and the bard are absent, as we have mentioned, and neither my brothers nor myself have practised the art. However, bless our fingers, and we will do all in our power to gratify you." She touched their fingers with the tips of her own, saying some prayers in a low voice; and when the young men sat down to the instruments, they drew from them such sweet and powerful melody as never before was heard in that hall. . So enthralling was the music that it seemed as if they never could tire of playing, nor their audience of listening. While the performance was still proceeding the king and his suite entered the large hall, and were amazed at hearing sweet and skilful strains from the untaught fingers of the princes. Recognizing the saint and her daughters, their wonder ceased. The gift was not conferred for the occasion, for the princely performers retained their power over the harp-strings while they lived.

Electric Harp

Like electric guitars, electric harps are based on their acoustic originals. There are both solid-body and hollow body electro-acoustic models available. True electric harps have a solid body versus a hollow body electro-acoustic harp, which can be played either acoustically or electronically. A true electric solid-body harp cannot be played acoustically since it has no hollow soundbox, and must be amplified when played.

Beginner Harp Player's Toolkit

Pulling a tuning wrench out of my “harp drawer” yesterday made me realize just how much harp “stuff” I’ve accumulated over time that I now consider indispensable … and wish I would have had on a “shopping list” when starting out. With that in mind, I thought I’d share my thoughts on what I believe would constitute a sound beginner’s “Kit” of helpful accessories for the harp … along with upgrades and enhancements for further along the journey.

Ballinderry Harp

The Balliderry Harp mountings are probably from the late 16th century and were likely intended for a harp of large size, perhaps five feet in height. It now resides in the National Museum of Ireland.

The majority of this article was quoted from "Musical Instruments" by Robert Bruce Armstrong.  The book can be downloaded and read for free by following the link in the references. For your convenience, the relevant section can be read below.

## Book Excerpt

### Ownership

In the National Museum, Dublin, may be seen in a singularly fine state of preservation the brass mountings for an Irish Harp from the Crannog of Ballinderry near Moat, King's County.

### Craftmanship

For the termination of the harmonic curve there is an enrichment, the front end of which is triangular in form (see illustration). Upon the front is the monogram I. H. S. surmounted by a cross, and beneath an interlaced cross enclosed in a circle. This triangular front is 6 7/8 inches long, the lower side of the triangle being 2 3/8 inches broad. Attached to the edges of this triangular face by five nails with ornamented heads there is an elaborately wrought border or frame. The sides of this termination without the border are 1 1/8 inches broad  each side having differently engraved patterns. Upon the right side there is a brass support for strengthening and retaining in position the harmonic curve and the fore-pillar (see illustration). This support, which is ^\ inches long by 2 7/8 at the widest part, is pierced in the centre in the form of a cross. The upper termination of the support is a dragonesque head ; the lower portion divides and curves outwardly ; the termination of each end resembles the head of a bird. That nearest to the triangular termination is somewhat shorter, to allow for the commencement of the T formation. The bands for strengthening the harmonic curve upon either side, pierced for thirty-six tuning-pegs, form single curves and are ornamented, as are also the tuning-pegs. The measurement from the first tuning-peg in the treble to the triangular face is 19 inches.

These brass mountings (the property of the Royal Irish Academy), probably late sixteenth century, were either attached to or intended for a Harp of a large size, perhaps five feet in height. At present they are placed upon a model, and the tuning-pegs, almost all of which are extant, are inserted in the respective holes. These mountings are exceptionally fine, finer than any other known specimens. The border or frame attached to the triangular termination is deserving of special notice.

FH36S by Dusty Strings

The FH36S is a lever harp manufactured by American harp maker Dusty Strings. It's a beautiful piece of fine woodworking and a satisfying investment for any harp enthusiast.

See showroom or website for pricing.

## Product Design & Accessories

According to the Dusty Strings website:

> "The FH series is their top-of-the-line range made from solid wood. The FH36S has the ideal range for a full-size lever harp: five octaves, starting and ending on C. It surrounds the player with a round, full-bodied and well articulated sound, and its generous depth, power and responsiveness make playing seem effortless.
>
>

* 36 strings, 5 octaves
* All solid wood construction in choice of 5 woods: sapele, walnut, bubinga, maple and cherry.
* Comfortable stave back design
* Full set of Loveland sharping levers
* Deluxe case

> The sides and back of the soundbox consist of five facets of book-matched wood. This design puts a flat facet, rather than a corner, against the player's shoulder, which some find more comfortable and which makes it easier to reach the lower strings. This soundbox shape, as opposed to the rectangular soundbox of the FH36H, gives a subtly rounder sound with a slightly fuller bass voice.
>
>

> The FH36S comes with a deluxe case and a custom tuning wrench."

Ashdown by Pilgrim Harps

The Ashdown is a lever harp manufactured by English harp maker Pilgrim Harps. Designed in 1993, was born out of the increasing use of harps in traditional Celtic music.

See showroom or website for pricing.

## Product Design & Accessories

 According to Pilgrim Harps website:

> "This lighter-strung lever harp is ideal for playing fast, delicate ornamentation in Irish music, or as an accompanying instrument to the voice - for which its bright, silky resonance is perfectly suited.
>
>

> The most popular wood for harp making is maple, but the Ashdown’s slightly softer string tension enables us to use different solid woods, in particular ash and mahogany.
>
>

> Because this harp requires a little less effort to play, it is also particularly suited to adult players coming to the harp later in life."
>
