The Craft of Music

As a musician myself my focus is on creating a harp that makes the most beautifully clear sound you’ve always wanted from your harp. A harp that is an absolute joy to play and one that will last you a lifetime.

Each harp is hand crafted by me personally with an intense level of craftsmanship and attention to detail going into each element* ensuring each harp plays beautifully. This level of care and craftsmanship does mean there is often a bit of a lead-time to final delivery the harp, but I guarantee you the wait is worth it.

*The strings and levers are not made in my workshop, that would be madness, even for me!

 

Have a question?

I know buying a harp can be daunting. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

About Me

MY NAME IS kEVIN

I completed my first woodworking project when I was 8 years old and it was there a passion was formed. In my teenage years I took an interest in music playing in several bands and youth orchestras. After a brief stint as a Civil Engineer (it wasn’t for me!), I combined my two passions of music and woodworking and began studying instrument making. I studied in two of the best schools in the world for luthiers. I then worked for many years in workshops in England both making and repairing professional instruments, all the while honing my knowledge and craftsmanship.

For the last 11 years I have been using that knowledge and skill and love and passion to make Harps here in Ireland for everyone who loves music.
