It is easily machined and is very forgiving in various weather conditions while supplying incredible strength and tone on the instrument. 36" Harps are very popular with beginners. The Heather is a mid-sized harp, standing 36 inches tall. It has 3 octaves with one octave below Middle C. This provides a great deal of playing range for the beginner. This size is also easily carried by younger players. The sound quality on the Heather model offers an unsurpassed value. It is also richly adorned with carvings and inlays. The Birch soundboard and backboard compliment the natural hues of the rosewood. The soundboard is constructed of birchwood for added strength. There are three basic forms of harp: bowed, angle, and frame. On all three forms the strings run, at an angle, between the neck and the resonator (or body). The strings, neck and resonator roughly describe a triangle. The bowed harp has a neck that is a curved extension of the resonator. This is the oldest form and is believed to have developed from a musical bow. Ornate and simple bow harps were depicted in wall paintings of ancient Egypt and Sumeria from 3000 BC. The angle harp has a neck that is a separate piece attached to the resonator. This form is most likely derived form Persia and was known in Egypt ca. 2000 BC. In Babylonian carvings these angle harps are shown being played with the neck pointing down. The frame harp has the resonator, neck, and an arm connecting the end of the neck to the opposite end of the resonator. Our Celtic rosewood harps are frame harps. This form originated in the Medieval Period. With only slight modification in style, the Celtic harp has not changed significantly in over a thousand years. There is a lot of pressure on the soundboard and framed when the harp is tuned. To reduce the potential for shipping damage, all harps are shipped untuned.
