Meet the Maker
Harp Lutherie for me started out when my wife expressed a wish to play harp. At that point I simply had the thought "I could build one of those"; but when she was playing a cheap 19 string "hack-astanie" harp, I had the thought "I could build a better one of those". 3 years and 15+ harp builds later, I could no longer say I'm an amateur Harp builder; and I needed to start selling my harps since they now outnumber our kids....
How it’s Made
I make these harps from a pattern of my own design. Locally sourced hardwood and Sitka spruce are used for building each harp. I utilize my garage-turned shop to make each harp, in small, 1-3 harp batches. I 3d print the sharping levers myself, and source the hardware, strings, and tuning pins from a US manufacturer in IL(Argent Fox). Depending on my teaching schedule, I can complete a small harp in about 6 weeks start to finish; large harps take closer to 6 months.
