The
Malvern
Finding
a concert harp that’s
light, portable and affordable has always involved a compromise with
sound quality, or the use of inferior materials such as nylon strings
and plywood soundboards - until now.
Launched
in 2007, The Malvern combines the traditional qualities of a hand-built
instrument with all the reliability and precision expected of a modern
concert harp.
This
elegant, hand-crafted pedal harp weighs just 31 kg (69 lbs).
It has the full range of 47 strings, and is gut-strung to the
very top. The Malvern’s
uniquely-shaped extended soundboard is designed to produce a tonal range
and quality to rival that of the most expensive concert harps.
Extensive
research on harp acoustics; careful use of carbon fibre technology in
key areas; mechanism plates that won’t
tarnish and are fitted with gold-plated discs, bridge-pins and forks and
our own
special bell-metal cast soundbox ribs, together
with the finest precision craftsmanship, has resulted in a harp with increased
strength, reliability and quality of sound, but reduced
weight and cost.

"The finest
pedal harp that has ever been made in Britain. It is much
lighter than most concert harps and, this combined with an original body
construction, has a range of sonority and dynamic that is quite
remarkable."
DAVID WATKINS
"It has a rich, full sound and is a joy to play"
SIONED WILLIAMS
"An instrument with a rich sound; comfortable and light"
GABRIELLA
DALL'OLLIO
"The tone is beautiful, deep & strong with rich resonances. It
felt as if I'd been playing it for a lifetime"
MIKE PARKER
"I envy the young harpists of today. How did you achieve all this
yet charge such a small amount?"
