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 29 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 beauty are 40 inches long by 20 inches deep. The base of the resonator is 5.25 inches wide by 2.25 inches deep.
