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 Harrington
I started my musical instrument making journey studying violin making in the UK. I studied in two of the best schools in the world for luthiers and I then worked for several years in workshops in London repairing and adjusting professional instruments, all the while honing my knowledge and craftsmanship.
I returned home to Ireland in 2012 and set up my own workshop. Initially serving the violin/viola/cello/double bass community both professional and amateur, after a few years I turned my hand to making a harp. As I was working on my first harp I slowly started to fall in love with the instrument and I decided that this was something I wanted to pursue seriously. Since then I have been applying the knowledge and skill that I learned from my many years as a professional violin maker into designing and making the best sounding and most beautiful looking harps from my workshop here in Cork City.
