Why this harp?

If you’re looking for a large sounding 34 string harp, with depth of resonance and rich in tone, this is a wonderful choice. Holding it’s tuning well, it’s a stable instrument, with decades of music waiting to be played on it. The string tension is medium gauge and does not need too much strength to get a strong sound.

Harp comes with with dust cover and full set of travel covers all of which have never left my house since purchased new in December 2015. Also included are tuning key, alternative plain wood feet and crown, various strings and a simple pick up (attached to inside of soundboard). 

The harp has a  couple of tiny dings on the base (see photo) but these are barely visible.

This harp has a beautiful mellow sound and is just as capable of playing classical repertoire as it is more traditional music. 

The harp measures 163cm tall, 85cm deep and weighs 20kg. It has the same string spacing and tension as in pedal harps. Range is 40 strings, from 1st octave E down to 6th octave A. All levers are in full working order. Strings have always been replaced as soon as they break.

Location is near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. Buyer to arrange collection/delivery.

Selling my beloved Teifi Boncath harp – similar to the popular Teifi Siff Saff student harp, the Boncath is made of solid wood as opposed to laminate wood, so will have a longer lifespan and carries a richer sound! Teifi stopped making the Boncath harp in around 2017 so it is rare to find one now! I am selling this very sentimental harp as I am moving abroad and it is simply to expensive to ship it. I hope to sell it to a loving home who can play it regularly!
