This unusual instrument is a replica of an original from the collection of the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg. It was developed by the renowned instrument builder Jacob Hochbrucker – who was probably the inventor of the harp pedal – as a travel instrument for a harp virtuoso. Historically, this harp has narrow string spacing and gentle string tension, so it responds easily. The sound is brilliant and clear. This harp is perfectly suited for rapid, ornament-rich "Baroque" playing.
