Three Ashdown Harps
The Ashdown Harps

This lighter strung harp has been designed along more traditional lines and is equally at home, playing fast, intricate ornamentation in Irish music or as an accompanying instrument to the voice for which it's gentle resonance is ideally suited. Such a harp requires less effort to play and is particularly recommended to adult players coming to the harp later in life.
