This is a blog where I will share about the custom harp projects that I have been working on lately, and some that are already finished! :-) I build custom harps in all sizes and styles possible, from cross double and single strung harps with from 10 to 42 strings, to electric-acoustic and midi harps. I also build laser beam harps, with red and green lasers instead of strings!

These are pictures of a new piece, a 10 string Myrtlewood Lyre, with Twisted "Ram`s Horn" necks, and a carved Menorah with olive leaves on the back, that I am building today, workign on the final carving now. The first shots are of the rough clamped construction, and on to today !:-)
Here is the finished Jerusalem Olive wood Lyre.
This is myself playing , demonstration the Custom 'Shamah' nylon strung Lyre. It is built from Black Walnut and 35+ year , air-dried Engleman Spruce.
This is the Olive wood boards, with the tracings made for the Lyre, and then the cut out pieces all stacked up, that will become this custom 10 string Lyre.
Hebrew prayer, 'The Shamah', carved into both of the necks. Custom one of a kind King David Lyre, with 10 nylon strings.
Lots to catch up with from my last posts in April !!!;-)) Here we go !
