This is my own design and I can't wait to hear it being played. Construction photos will be added as the project progresses.
Choroi Childrens Harp
A small 7 String Pentatonically tuned instrument.
Some zither tuning pins are not holding and bridge had been incorrectly modified.
Seemed such a pity not being able to be played and enjoyed.
Work in Progress - Drill and plug all the pin positions and relace the bridge.

30 String Morley Harp

A very special harp in need of some love and attention.
