This replica of an instrument from a private collection emanates Baroque lightness. The combination of gentle string tension and very narrow string spacing is perfect for rapid, fluid playing even without a lot of force. This harp is a wonderful instrument for musicians who interpret Baroque music, but it is also a sonorous, light, and nevertheless "voluminous" companion for all other harpists, especially when travelling. The instrument is made from curly maple. As many harps did until into the 19th century, this harp features braying, here for the lower 16 strings (G to a'). The inventive 18th-century harp builder developed an ingenious Baroque effect device – the harpist can turn the braying on and off with a single handle! The replica is available with and without a braying bar.
