Rosewood Balladeer Harp, 22 Strings, Taylor

This is a stylishly designed harp, in solid rosewood with a spruce soundboard.

There are 22 DuPont Nylon strings with full levers. The simple straight lines of the pillar and softly curving lines of the arm are joined by the hand carved scroll.

A little smaller than our other 22 string rosewood model, this harp stands 30 1/2 inches tall and 17 1/2 inches deep.

The strings range from C an octave below Middle C to High C. Includes tuning tool and extra string set.

Zachary Taylor is a designer and maker of early stringed instruments. Early in his career as a performer on classical guitar and lute he began to study the creation of representations of early instruments. In his relentless research he endeavours to acquire sufficient information for the construction of examples in the likeness of original instruments. For more than a quarter of a century he has taught the subject of lutherie in the Universities of Suffolk, England and Vigo, Spain and in Colleges including West Dean and Missenden Abbey in England. Major projects include the re-construction of instruments that form the entrance arch to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. His authorship includes many books, including 'Make and Play a Lute' and 'Making early stringed instruments'. It is Zachary Taylor's mission to design authentic examples of ancient instruments, accessible to enthusiasts who demand high quality without a high-price tag.
