Clear, Bright Tone That Inspires Practice
The maple body and soundboard help produce a bright, articulate tone with lovely resonance. Whether you’re picking out a slow O’Carolan air or working through a new jig, the sound you’ll get from this harp makes practice feel more like play. It holds its tuning well, too, so you get less frustration and more music.

Crafted to Look and Sound Beautiful
With a sleek maple body with a curved neck and bow, this harp is as nice to look at as it is to listen to. The harp is the national symbol of Ireland and is recognised by UNESCO as Irish Living Heritage. You’ll have a piece of that 1,000-year history that’s elegant enough to fit into any living space or studio and feel right at home.

Comfort That Keeps You Playing
Its ergonomic setup reduces tension in your shoulders and arms, encouraging good posture and longer, more relaxed playing sessions. And when needed, the legs can be removed for seated height changes or for younger students, to position the harp at a comfortable angle and height.
Session-Ready, Trad-Approved
Each of the 34 strings is fitted with a high-quality, color-coded lever, allowing you to play confidently in D, G, C, Am, and other common Irish trad keys. Quick changes are easy and silent, so you’re never held back by your instrument. It’s everything you need for slow sessions, home practice, or building a tune set for performance.
Built With the Beginner in Mind
The McNeela 34-String Harp is designed to remove barriers and build confidence. From tuning stability and lever clarity to balanced string tension, every detail supports a smoother learning curve. This is an instrument you’ll grow into, not out of.
What’s Included?
Each harp comes with a free premium padded travel case (worth €200). Designed to protect your instrument in transit or at home, it features reinforced handles, plush lining, and extra padding around the neck and base. It’s everything you need to keep your harp safe, and it’s included at no extra cost.

My harp purchase experience Thanks very much for a pleasant harp purchase experience. The 34 string harp is a solid well made instrument and much better than I expected. The personal service and the fact that Páraic delivered the harp to me personally was really unexpected. A journey of over 100 miles. I can't recommend the personal service more highly and am extremely pleased with my purchase. Thank you very much.
