Celtic Harp and Book Here's an example of string instruments to charm the pixies themselves! Known to the West since about the 10th century, the harp was adopted most widely by the bards and troubadours of medieval Eire (Ireland) and Cymru (Wales). Here is a handsome example of Irish lap harps Celtic, crafted of handcarved rosewood and mahogany in the traditional, 19-string "lap-top" configuration of the Celtic harp. The frame is inlaid in an endless-knot motif and fitted with a row of metal tuning pegs, string guides, and pitch-shifters. A magnificent instrument, with Celtic knot motif, as decorative as it is musical! Includes wood-handled tuning key, Laurie Riley's Basic Harp for Beginners (Paperback, 77 pp.) and a full set of replacement strings. 31" high.
