Classic Cantabile H-19 WN Celtic Harp 19 Strings

The Vast, Nordic World in Your Own Living Room!

For all fans of Celtic (and naturally other) music, the 19-string Celtic Harp from Classic Cantabile offers feel-good sound for everyone.

Typical Design

Characteristic of the Celtic harp is the typically curved shape of the pillar, as also found on the Irish coat of arms. The hook harp made of walnut has a range of 2.5 octaves (f - c³).

Tuning

The 19 strings are tuned diatonically in E-flat major, with the blue and red strings indicating where the notes C and F are located. By flipping up the respective hooks, the harp can be quickly retuned to another key, allowing very flexible playing with others. For first attempts and easier understanding, a C tuning is also possible. Two tuning keys are used to tune the instrument: while the square key is applied to the tuning pegs, the hex key is used for the fine tuners on the opposite side.

Lever Mechanism

The special mechanism of this harp makes it a versatile companion in different keys. Each individual string is equipped with a half-step lever, which when engaged raises the pitch of the respective string by a half step. This way, you are prepared for every sharp key with just a few moves.

To avoid transport damage, the harp is shipped with levers flipped up. Therefore, all levers are first flipped down so that all strings can vibrate freely. In this state, the harp is then tuned to E-flat major, and it is completely normal that the strings need regular retuning during the first weeks. Once the strings have stretched sufficiently, the tuning will hold much longer.

Includes Bag

The softly padded bag not only offers your instrument sufficient protection against dust and scratches, but the outer pocket even provides enough space for the two tuning keys and other accessories.

Simply Heavenly!
