The
Malvern
‘The best of all worlds’
Finding a concert harp that’s light, portable and affordable has
always involved a compromise with sound quality, or use of inferior
materials such as nylon strings, plywood soundboards etc. - until now.
This elegant, hand-crafted pedal harp weighs just 31 kg (69 lbs).
It has the full range of 47 strings and is gut-strung to the very
top. The Malvern’s unique
shape of extended soundboard is designed to produce a tonal range and
quality to rival that of the most expensive concert harps.
All
our 47 string pedal harps are fitted with front-foot castors. This makes
it so much easier to move the harp around a room or concert platform.
"The finest pedal harp that has ever been made in Britain. It is much
lighter than most concert harps and, this combined with an original body
construction, has a range of sonority and dynamic that is quite
remarkable. It's
easy to play, has a smooth pedal action and is light to
transport."
David Watkins
"It has a rich, full sound and is a joy to play"
Sioned Williams
"An instrument with a rich sound; comfortable
and light"
Gabriella Dall’Olio
"The tone is beautiful, deep & strong with rich resonances.
It felt as if I'd been playing it for a lifetime"
Mike Parker
"I envy the young harpists of today. How did you achieve all
this yet charge such a small amount?"

Launched
in 2007, The Malvern,
named in honour of Edward Elgar (whose 150th
anniversary was celebrated the same year), combines the
traditional qualities of a hand-built instrument with all the
reliability & precision expected of a modern concert harp. Extensive
research on harp acoustics; careful use of carbon fibre technology
in key areas; mechanism plates that won’t tarnish and fitted
with gold-plated discs, bridge-pins and forks; our own special bell-metal cast
soundbox ribs and the finest precision
craftsmanship has resulted in a harp with increased
strength, reliability and quality of sound, but reduced weight and cost.
