This is an authentic Gothic Harp designed by The Early Music Shop, U.K., from iconographic examples of the French Gothic Harps. The body, arm and pillar are rosewood and the soundboard is spruce. There are 19 Dupont� nylon stings. Unlike modern harps, the Gothic harp is not strung from the back; rather each string is held into the soundboard by tension and a small button topped peg. This is a non-standing lap harp with delicate lines. The graceful arm and pillar are accented with fluid curves.
The approximate dimensions of this little beauty are 32 inches long by 15 inches deep. The base of the resonator is 5 inches wide by 2.25 inches deep.
