The harp guitar has become increasing popular over the past few years. Historically they seem to come into fashion every century or so and right now the momentum is building for the next great boom in the harp guitar. The best resource for the more information on the harp guitar is www.harpguitars.net
For a guitarist in an increasingly competitive world of amazing players, the harp guitar is a way of expanding the boundries of guitar music as well as setting oneself apart as playing a unique instrument. While many people look at the harp guitar and wonder how anybody could ever play one, they are actually very similar to a guitar but with some extra strings to expand the range.
Shown at left is a lyra harp guitar, one of the several
harp guitar models I make. Please click on the photo for more
info.
Some other versions of the lyra harp guitar with
spruce tops. Please click on the photos for more info.
A 21 string hollow arm harp guitar. 7 sub basses
and 8 super trebles. The hollow arm or Dyer style harp guitar
is the most popular style of harp guitar. It is available with
or without super trebles. Plain, fancy or somewhere in between,
it is my least expensive model of harp guitar.
A 32 string sympathetic string harp guitar. The addition
of sympathetic strings gives it a sitar like sound.
A 25 string hollow arm harp guitar. 7 sub basses
and 12 super trebles. The hollow arm or Dyer style harp guitar
is the most popular style of harp guitar. This one has even more
range than most harp guitars, over 5 octaves.
Shown here is a harp guitar custom built for California
guitarist Echo Greywolf. It is based on the Gibson model U except
that the top and back are braced rather than carved like the original
Gibsons. The body is also smaller at about 16.5" across making
it lighter and less cumbersome to hold than the Gibson.
It has 6 standard guitar strings and 6 harp strings to add a full unique sound that is far richer than with 6 strings alone.
The Guitar is built from Western red cedar, walnut, mahogany, and curly maple. It is an example of a unique custom instrument that was designed in close colaboration with the musician who now performs with it. To find out more about Echo and check out his latest CD, Click here.
