Mini Clarsach

Original design, influenced by early Celtic harps.
It has a salvaged Douglas fir soundboard, maple tuning bar and post, and black walnut body.

The clarsach is a wire-strung harp that dates from the 1300's and came from Ireland and Scotland. Early instruments were strung with gold or silver strings and later with bronze or brass. My clarsach is a little smaller than the original harps and strung with steel. I crafted this small 18-string harp as a beginner's instrument, but the beautiful tone makes it a wonderful piece for everyone, beginning and experienced players, to travel with and play.
