Gwennol Folk Harp In Detail

Gwennol Folk Harp - Semi-tone levers
These innovative new levers are based on many years of research. Made from solid brass and hardened steel, they give clear, defined, semi-tone notes.
Based on the current concert harp principle of double forks, they do not wear the harp strings. They are colour coded, positive and comfortable to use. Easily adjustable for pitch and differing string gauges. It's just one example of the fresh approach we are bringing to harp making.

Gwennol Folk Harp- Tuning Pins
The tuning pins are made from solid stainless steel and do not corrode in the neck. They have a coloured band around them denoting red for 'C' and black for 'F' as an aid to tuning.

Gwennol Folk Harp - The strings
The very best gut strings are used for quality and resonance of sound. With lighter string tension to the Eos, the Gwennol is the ideal instrument for folk music. Strings and accessories are available from us directly.

Gwennol Folk Harp - Comfort in playing
Should differing playing heights be needed, removable legs are available for the Gwennol to suit the harpist's needs.
