This year the Harp Making Course has been organized one week 
before the Harp Festival in order to allow people to take part of 
the festival with the new born instrument!

Cost: £ 360 (prepaid deposit £ 200)

Model: 26 strings LAP HARP (2 and half octave. No Levers)
Price includes the cost of all materials needed to construct and finish the harp: wood parts, harp kit consisting of hoop pine, brass bridge pins, machine heads, bridge buttons and a set of nylon strings. All tools required for the assembly of the instruments will be provided.

Only one instrument per participant is to be made during the course.
The workshop harp:
The harps we will be making are constructed from pine. The      design will be for a 26 strings Celtic/Paraguayan style harp. Due to safety restrictions, we will supply parts of the harp already cut to design in order to proceed to assembly, fitting, finishing, stringing without having to use “dangerous” machinery.
