The
Clarsach
We
have been making this harp since 1980, when Pilgrim Harps
led the way with the first ever concert-strung Celtic harp. The result
of this experiment exceeded all our expectations, producing an
instrument with the fullest tone and range of dynamics we know from such
a harp.
The
Clarsach is a performance lever harp originally commissioned by the
legendary Derek Bell MBE, celebrated harpist with The Chieftains.
Today it is firmly established as one of the most sought after
and prized Celtic harps the world over.
The design has been refined over many years, and we believe it to be
unrivalled in tonal colour and range of dynamics by any other harp of
its size.
The Clarsach is also the ideal first harp for a young harpist who
will one day want to play the classical harp, as the string tension and
spacing on both are the same.
