Our Adare harp packages are very popular. The Adare Beginner's Package includes the Heather, which is a mid-sized harp, standing 36 inches tall. It has 3 octaves with one octave below Middle C. This provides a great deal of playing range for the beginner. This size is also easily carried by younger players. This beginners package makes an ideal gift for all ages. You'll receive the beautifully hand engraved harp that is already pre-strung. 22 nylon strings, sharpening levers, engraved and inlaid rosewood. Includes tuning tool, extra string set. These hand carved imported harps have decorated rosewood frames & mahogany plywood soundboards. The manufacturer offers a one-year warranty on the frame and 5 years on the soundboard. Sharpening levers are not on strings shorter than 6". All instruments come with a tuning tool and a Basic Instruction Book. All Celtic harps come with an extra set of strings and are color coded; red for "C" and blue for "F". New harps normally need to be tuned several times before they are functional. The more they are tuned and the older they are, the brighter the sound becomes. The Celtic harp also goes by the names folk harp, lever harp and Irish harp. The last is a bit of a misnomer; technically, an Irish harp would be a harp made in Ireland. Just as Celtic music often brings the bonny green isles to mind, so too does the Celtic harp. However, Celtic culture and music is actually much more widespread. Please Note: Your order ships in several cartons and may arrive on different days. The free Celtic CD title may vary.
