The McNeela harp is perfectly suited to playing traditional Irish music. With 27 strings, spanning three and a half octaves, this harp is a little smaller in stature than a full size harp, making it perfect for beginners or young harp players.
So if you want to learn to play the Irish harp, this is the starter instrument for you. It looks good, it sounds good, it’s expertly crafted from quality materials and it’s a dream to play.
Strings
Despite its size, the strings are well spaced. This makes it incredibly easy to transition on to a new instrument in the future as the player will have learned the correct playing technique and movement right from the start.
Levers
Everything about this harp has been designed with ease of playing in mind. Each string has a lever attached, to raise or lower the pitch.
This makes it possible to play in a variety of keys, meaning there are no limitations on the repertoire you can play. The levers are colour coded so you can easily navigate them and find your way around the harp confidently.
Comfort
The detachable legs allow the harp to sit at the correct height and angle, encouraging good posture and allowing for comfortable playing, but can also be removed if necessary to adjust the height for younger players.
Design
This is a sleek looking instrument that’s been expertly crafted from quality Maple tonewood. It has a beautiful curved neck and bow. Much like a piano, the harp becomes part of the furniture, and this would look good standing in any sitting room.
Sound
McNeela instruments are built to sound good right from their very first note, and my Irish harp is no exception.
This harp has a nice clear resonant tone, and it holds its tuning well, so you won’t have to spend hours re-tuning your strings.
It’s important to start out on an instrument that sounds good as it will really give your playing a boost. It makes practicing much easier and far more enjoyable when you like what you hear.
Value
If there’s one thing we love at McNeela Instruments it’s making music accessible to everyone. We offer quality instruments at affordable prices, designed specifically with the needs of student musicians in mind, and now we’ve set our sights on the Irish harp.
Historically, harps have always been a huge investment, making them inaccessible to many. The McNeela Irish harp is a game changer, offering exceptional value for money.
It even comes with a free travel case to help protect it from any unexpected knocks and bumps which is incredibly important. The case is nice and sturdy which makes transporting and storing your harp so much easier. It’s another worry alleviated.
The Irish Harp
The harp is the oldest instrument within the Irish music tradition and has been played in Ireland for over a thousand years. This iconic instrument serves as the national emblem of Ireland, and in 2019 it was inscribed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, recognising its unique place in Irish music and cultural life.
Today the Irish harp is played by musicians all over the world.
