From
Alaska to Africa, London to New York, traveling harpists choose the
Selkie "Survival" harp with its compact soundboard or, if they are
really short of space the super slimline Practice Harp in acoustic or
electric formats. Many travel harps are simply "small"; Selkie
travel harps are made specifically for the hard road ahead. These
harps are nylon strung for durability and stability - holding excellent
tune. Weighing less than 3 Kilos these harps are available fully
levered,
partially levered or unlevered. Both have optional built in
amplification and the solid bodied Practice Harp has a removable knee
bar. Other harps began featuring knee bars shortly after we
exhibited ours at the Edinburgh Harp Festival - who knew? The
"Survival" model with its soundbox features a high quality spruce or
cedar soundboard and, for its size, a full and lively tone. Both
models are the same shape and size in profile and the fore-pillar is
25.5 inches (65cm) from top to bottom. See our "Frequently
Asked Questions" by clicking HERE. Prices: Survival (Soundbox)
£700 fully levered ~
Practice (solid bodied) £300 unlevered. ~
Please ask about amplification and different lever fits.
Singer Iona leigh
regularly performs with her Selkie "Survival" travel harp.
She tells us that she enjoys both the tone and the handy size
that makes it easy to travel with in a backpack. Currently
performing and recording in London she finds taking her harp on the
Underground is a breeze. It is also easy for her to take it home
to Findhorn in Scotland where she grew up. We are very pleased to
be associated with her. Please visit her website - but come back
here afterwards! www.ionaleigh.com
