Highland Harps of Colorado "a small harp with a big sound"
Reflecting it's Rocky Mountain heritage, the 26 string Highland harp has a beautiful, big tone. Resonant and responsive, it is perfect for performance, therapeutic music or casual enjoyment. When it was introduced at Someset Harp Festival in 2007, it stood out from the crowd at the blind harp "tasting". Everyone was anxious to know about the beautiful sounding small harp with a tone much bigger than its size!
Weighing just twelve and a half pounds, it is compact and portable. It comes with a support stand and, with it's eight side staved back, is very comfortable to play.
The Highland harp was developed by master builder, Dan McCrimmon who worked closely with Rick Rubarth of Denver's RHarps in perfecting the design. It has 26 strings ranging from C below middle-C to G. It comes with Loveland sharping levers on the Fs, Cs, Gs and Bs allowing a versatile combination of up to 3 sharps and one flat per octave. Additional, individually selected sharping levers or a full set are also available upon request. The Highland is available in curly maple or walnut and has a laminated baltic birch soundboard. A stable stand that raises the harp to playing height and a custom, velour lined, soft shell case are included.
