My Irish 34 is a medium sized harp, with features
typical of modern Irish or Scottish lever harps. The bright,
lively sound comes from the specially selected cedar soundboard,
carefully thicknessed and them laminated to maximize tone. The
shell of the soundbox is constructed of seven staves perfectly
joined to make the arched shape essential to great sound. The
T form of the pillar and the hatchet shaped harmonic curve are
traditional Irish design features. The Celtic decorations are
reminiscent of those seen on the McFall harps made in Dublin
in the 19th century.
Standard features:
- Solid 5 ply Cherry neck and pillar
- Seven staved soundbox of yew, cherry, or willow wood
- Solid cedar soundboard, hand thicknessed for proper resonance

- Total weight of harp in case

- This harp can be delivered wiith
Kortier pickups installed. This does
not change the accoustic properties of the harp, but allows you
to plug into any sound system with no need for additional equipment.
The harp when equipped in this way, as an acoustic/electric harp,
is $4,450.
