Heritage Harps is a bespoke harp workshop based in Torquay, Devon, founded and run by master craftsman Terry Heritage. With over four decades of experience in musical instrument making and teaching, Terry handcrafts each harp using premium solid hardwoods such as maple, walnut, cherry, and mahogany, avoiding inferior materials like beech or plywood. The soundboards are crafted from quarter-sawn, slow-grown Western Red Cedar, selected for its acoustic quality and stability.  
Each harp is fitted with Camac levers and features steel-wound bass strings, carbon fibre, and nylon, producing a powerful, sustaining, bell-like tone. Standard features include decorative inlay bandings, fitted LED lights, and optional pickups for amplification. Custom soundboard artwork, such as Celtic motifs or floral designs, is also available.  For more information, visit www.heritageharps.co.uk or contact Terry directly at 01803 690975 or [email protected] |
