Its sleek maple finish and curved lines make this an eye catching instrument that looks as good as it sounds. It's guaranteed to capture both hearts and imaginations.
Strings
Despite its size, the strings are well spaced. This makes it incredibly easy to transition on to a new instrument in the future as the player will have learned the correct playing technique and movement right from the start.
Levers
Everything about this harp has been designed with ease of playing in mind. Each string has a lever attached, to raise or lower the pitch.
This makes it possible to play in a variety of keys, meaning there are no limitations on the repertoire you can play. The levers are colour coded so you can easily navigate them and find your way around the harp confidently.
Comfort
The detachable legs allow the harp to sit at the correct height and angle, encouraging good posture and allowing for comfortable playing, but can also be removed if necessary to adjust the height for younger players.
Design
This is a sleek looking instrument that’s been expertly crafted from quality Maple tonewood. It has a beautiful curved neck and bow. Much like a piano, a harp becomes part of the furniture, and this would look good standing in any living room.
Sound
McNeela instruments are built to sound good right from their very first note, and my Irish harp is no exception.
This harp has a nice clear resonant tone, and it holds its tuning well, so you won’t have to spend hours re-tuning your strings.
It’s important to start out on an instrument that sounds good as it will really give your playing a boost. It really makes practicing much easier and far more enjoyable when you like what you hear.
