| The Therapy Harp..... |
For centuries, the beneficial relationship between music and healing has been well established. We now have substantial documentation of the responsiveness to and appreciation of music by peoples of all ages and cultures. Music played on the harp has several unique healing properties. The resonance from the strings, including the range of pitch and tonal color, set up an important relationship between the sound and the recipient. Historically, the harp has been a symbol of relief and comfort............... |
| Over the years that I have been making and demonstrating harps, I have often noticed the responses of many people as I have been playing.....from intense wellbeing to being overcome to the point of tears.....saying things like....."That really touched my Heart"..... Because of requests from previous harp purchasing clients I have developed a managable 27 string harp ( C below middle C) built in beautiful Australian Red Cedar and strung so that the sound produced is Calming and Mellow....The sales of this instrument are quickly growing and will seemingly surpass the combined sales of all my Lapharp sales combined. Hence I have increased production of these, which I have aptly named.... The Therapy Harp. These harps are built from quality solid timber and have all brass tuning pegs,tuning key, straining plate & eyelets, and are generously priced, as we support the honorable work they will be engaged in. These harps are suitable as Student Harps and most Teachers will welcome them. Sorry we do not "color" our harps (why cover beauty?) If you require levers added, please mention this when asking for a quote. |
