A new harp to add to my wish list... a 32 string travel harp built by Alexander Tremer in Germany. Technically it's not a harp because the strings feed to the side, but it's strung and played as one. It only weighs 3.3 kg and it can be carried in a specially designed back pack. I suspect it will also fit into a large suitcase. For a small harp the sound is HUGE as you can hear on this video played by harpist, Amélie Guiboux playing a cover of Get Lucky by Daft Punk on her Luna harp. You can get a good idea about the size comparison with a normal 34 string harp with this picture from the Luna harp website.
I've had a quick play on one and despite it looking a little odd (and it not technically being a harp) I'm really impressed. It's well worth having a good look on their website which has lots of info about this harp.
Bertie bonus - it's now comes with Camac levers as standard! https://www.travel-harp.com/

I thought this sounded beautiful. What does it mean when you say it is not technically a harp? Is it because how the sound box is set? I am just really curious, as I am just guessing. 13/2/2022 08:31:26 pm
Hi Lauren! I'm thinking of getting one of these little travel harps. Have you had any experience with taking it on a plane? Does it fit in the overhead bins? Do you recommend it! Leave a Reply. |
