Harp music for your event

The Celtic, or lever, harp is obviously a much smaller instrument than the concert harp, but the main difference is that there are no pedals, so pitch changes are controlled by levers across the harp's neck. This means that more chromatic repertoire is much more difficult or impossible to play. This instrument is perfect for traditional and light popular music with a present and full, but not overwhelming, tone and is lovely in a more intimate or rustic/natural setting or at events with an Celtic, rustic, or folk theme.

When most people think of the harp, it is the instrument of the angels that comes to mind. A delicate, beautiful instrument of an ethereal world. But the harp is an instrument of endless possibilities. Have you ever heard ragtime, Harlem Nocturne, or The Pink Panther performed on the harp? The concert harp is considered the world's most difficult instrument to play. With 47 strings and 7 pedals, each of which has three positions, the odds of playing a wrong note are insurmountably higher than playing the right one. But this is the magic of the harp: to make it all look easy, and to hide the pedals with a long, flowing skirt! This instrument was custom-made for me by Salvi Harps in Italy, and, aside from its striking tone, the ivory color makes it a beautiful complement to any venue and occasion, particularly weddings.

Most people would consider the harp a quiet instrument- well, not any more! My electroacoustic blue harp was made by Camac Harps in France, has toured as a flagship instrument with Camac's president Jakez Francois and graced the stages of Bjork's concerts. Now it can grace your venue as well! This harp can be played without amplification or can connect directly to any sound system for endless possibilities ranging from a bit of extra volume for a lively party to professional sound effects to rock out with! I particularly enjoy playing Classic rock tunes on this harp, including "Dream On". The green instrument is an electroacoustic Celtic harp that offers similar amplification in a smaller, more portable package.

This harp, made in Italy, is a true performance artist! With an incomparable acoustic tone that fills any room, church, or concert hall, this harp takes center stage and is perfect for concerts of any size from solo recitals to chamber music and orchestral performances. Its stunning look, created from over 5 types of inlaid eye-catching woods, is a perfect complement to its sound.
