19-String Standing Pixie Harp with Levers

Description

19-String Standing Celtic Pixie Harp with Levers

This beautifully carved 19-string Standing Pixie harp has a 2 1/2 octave range. This allows for a larger repertoire and the 29″ size of the instrument gives a louder projection and tone.

This free-standing model also has sharping levers. Sharping levers are small mechanisms that are mounted near the top of each string and are designed to shorten the string length the exact amount necessary to raise the pitch a half step when the handle is lifted. Sharping levers enable easy key changes and the playing of accidentals within a piece of music.

These beautifully crafted harps have a lovely tone, as you can hear represented in the following performance:
