Custom Harps for Over 35 Years

I have been designing and building one-of-a kind custom carved and sculpted harps since 1978.

This is the “Angel of Light,” a hand carved 31 string Myrtle wood Celtic Harp with embedded crystals.

Innovations in Harp Design

Over the years my clients have many times asked me to design and build for them types of harps that have never been seen before. I have always enjoyed this challenging type of creative work, and continue to do so.

Shown here is a custom 28 laser performance harp with red and green lasers.

Custom Harp Designs

If you have an idea for a harp that you have never seen before, contact me and share your thoughts.

Shown here is the “Pegasus in Flight” harp, made of rock maple with semi-precious stones, opals, and silver inlay and strung with 28 nylon strings.

Let Me Design Your Dream Harp!

I enjoy the co–creative process of working with my clients to bring their most amazing dream harps to life!

From Ancient harps to New Age harps, from harps inspired by the designs of Middle Earth’s Rivendell and Lothlorian, to the Mystic Dream Harp that you only see when you are asleep, I can bring your harp to life for you!

Shown here is the Custom 40 string “Rivendell Harp,” an electric-acoustic-midi harp made with black walnut and myrtle wood and a stained Spruce sound board.

Laser Harps for Installations

This custom Laser Harp was designed and carved for the Jewish Children’s Museum in Brooklyn, New York.

Religious and Spiritual Harps

I have carved and created harps for playing music in a variety of Religious and Spiritual Traditions. Please tell me what your new harp should be like, in beauty of both sound and appearance, to aid you in your special music performances.

Irish Harp

Creative Harp Design

Over the last thirty six years I have carved an extremely wide variety of relief images and fully in-the-round-sculptures on my harps. From winged Pegasus in flight, to howling wolves and dancing unicorns, angels in flight, birds in their nests, and various types of Dragons curling up the pillars and necks of these harps, anything is possible!
