note, no prices are quoted on this page as all the harps are individually designed and are usually once/off orders . such as below ,
A 35 string harp for Spain , special request ,complete with dragon ! Irish Sycamore .Note the variation in the colour due to minerals in the wood.This often happens in sycamore and some other species. It adds to the surprise !
this lovely harp was made by my friend Larry Egar in Cork . The owners contacted me with a view to a complete overhaul . I added ebony discs on the sound board bridge strip and repaired the crack in the harmonic curve at the shoulder.Out of respect I also finished in the same fashion with french polish as the original. New levers by ” Loveland “replace the old brass ones and a full set of carbon strings replace the old nylon . Sounds really nice now and it’s like Irish harps should be, light to carry , simple design with gentle action and sweet sound.

this is a poor broken harp!!! this way they sometimes come back to me, I made this harp about 30 years ago and it had an accident.the repaired harp is also shown, and the sound was just as the old one.Great relief all round! -
this is the " new " version of the old harp. -
this harp is an old Quinn model.It had warped very badly and needed new levers.To achieve this, I had to re-build the harmonic curve and forepillar.These harps have a most beautiful soft sound , but also a great volume for it's size.Compared to many of the modern imports they are so handy to bring around , and many professional players spent many years performing on them. this one belongs to Valerie Armstrong and used on her new album " Time has told me ". there is a link to Valerie on my Links page -
