Walnut Queen Mary style Wire strung Harp

Thirty one stings, bronze wire harp, carved and engraved in the combined  styles of the ancient "Queen Mary" , and "Brian Boru" harps. Note range is first octave A, down to F below the C, below middle C.

All solid Black Walnut, with brass work on the neck, and hand made bronze string shoes on the soundboard. The soundboard and sides of the sound box, are extensively engraved with the same designs as the "Queen Mary " harp.

The full ringing sound is very beautiful.  String spacing is a tiny bit wider than traditional wire, so it can be played with either finger tips or finger nails.

  This harp comes with a Royal Blue soft padded carry case, a Walnut display stand, an extra string set, and a custom tuning key.

Large,36 string Myrtle wood, high headed Gothic style harp, now nearing completion. 

(Sorry, no picture yet !)

Rarely do I have one of my custom harps available for sale. This project was started for a player who instead purchased my "Derek Bell " harp. So, this beautiful harp is now  looking for a warm and loving home!

You can decide if you want gut or nylon string. the harp is designed to have medium -high, to high string tension. Note range is first octave C, down to fifth octave C. Sound board is all solid Engleman Spruce. Harp will have a full set of Loveland levers, but at extra cost could have Truitt levers.

This harp has a large beautiful five sided staved sound box, with the highly decorative wood grain that Myrtle wood is know for. Myrtle wood is highly figured, with many different shades and tones of golden honey and brown. There are sometimes streaks of purplish gray, and always highly iridescent fiddle back figure, that moves as your eye travels over the wood surface.

Completion date is set for mid January, 2008. Please call or write me if you would like more information on this harp!
