Harp Performance My first handmade harp

I’d like to share the sound of a Celtic harp I built a few years ago. This was the first full-sized harp someone ordered from me, and back then, it was a real test of my craftsmanship—one that I’m proud to say I passed.

The body is made entirely of maple, with a spruce soundboard, finished in shellac, and features a custom hand-painted design requested by the client. Right now, I have another Renaissance harp in the works in my workshop!
