The Tara Harp



A Celtic style of lever harp
that harkens back to times of yore

This 36 string Tara harp features a gorgeous profile and proportions that easily distinguishes itself from other Celtic style harps, a truly unique visual statement with a full lush voice to match.

Standing 62.5" tall by 33" deep, and just under 30 lbs, it transports easily while maintaining all the vital dimensions needed for excellent tone and volume.

The most ornate harps feature custom artwork that I design with the customer's input to make it truly one of a kind. The soundboard and pillar beckon decorative ideas to make the harp an extension of yourself.

Even without ornamentation this harp is still a musical masterpiece with its simple flowing lines. The elegant base with "lion's paw" feet is standard on each Tara harp and provides excellent stability on a variety of surfaces.

The right stool height permits playing this harp without tipping it back onto your shoulder, making it very comfortable to play for extended lengths of time. The weight of a harp on a shoulder can be a source of discomfort or long term injury, especially with very large and heavy harps.

Gold plated Truitt levers are optional for added versatility, be it a select few for common keys or a full set for all the keys.

A variety of options are possible. Whether simple or elaborate or somewhere in between, there is one that reflects your personal ideals. The choice is yours. Each one is worthy of center stage.


Price range:

$3800 CAD for entry level harp without  levers
$7000 CAD for fully carved and painted harp with full set of levers

Full set of levers installed is $1000 CAD regardless of model
