It is February 2023 and I am now 70 years old, but am still designing, building, carving and painting  custom harps and Laser Beam Harps! But at a bit slower rate of speed. :-)

I am not building cross or double strung harps anymore, and rarely building any wire strung harps. I am trying to keep it simple and am building just 10 to 29 string Lyres and small harps. I have a few projects in my Que right now, and can look at future similar smaller harps and Lyres.

Most usually my King David Lyres have just 10 strings.

So, do not be shy about contacting me regarding a possible project! I may say No, but I may say, Yes, maybe, in time ! :-)

May this New Year Bring Everyone much Joy, Happiness and Love !! :-)

 

 

 Hello everyone! :-)  I have not posted here for awhile, but I am still building. I am starting to scale back the size of the harps I wish to build now. I just turned 67 in January, and so will no longer be building larger cross strung or double harps.

This 34 string Carved Cherry wood Harp was well received at the Southeaster Harp Weekend, but at this point, is still for sale. It has a full set of Loveland sharping levers, a solid, 40 year air -dried, Spruce sound board. The carving in the neck and pillar is set with rounded natural polished clear quartz crystals. The note range is from low B, the third B below middle C, up to G.The total finished weight is 16 7 1/2 lbs. Price, plus shipping is $5,580. You can message me if you are interested ! :-) Or email mtglen@laserharps.com

Just finishing up a new 73 string 6 X 6 Cross strung harp, built form Hawaiian Koa wood and Engleman Spruce !

Welcome Everyone to my new web page, written in Word Press code. 

I just realized that I have been building Harps, And websites for a looong time !  My first web site was in 1993, written with AOL Press,.. 21 years ago ! But I started building harps back in 1978, which is 36 years ago !:-)

So, just click on this link to get to my new site. It is still under construction on some of the 39 pages, with many more images and videos to be added.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think !


I will be at the Southeastern Harp Weekend, on Oct  23rd through the 27th in Ashville North Carolina, showing a brand new custom carved Myrtle wood 36 string nylon harp.

This weekend !! :-)

 This harp is carved with angels in flight, a crescent moon with a semiprecious stone set inside it, crystals, gold leaf, painted and carved feathers and also it sounds really, really GOOD ! :-)  Come and see me and my lovely wife Laurie, of Markwood Heavenly Strings & Cases, at booth 'B' ! :-)

Here are some shots of this harp under construction .
