Harpsicle® Harp
without lever mechanics
Basic tuning C major
The very affordable basic model - Harpsicle® Harp - is a real lightweight at 2.6kg.
This harp is produced without lever mechanics, i.e. you can play on it in the keys of C major and A minor without retuning.
Due to the lack of bridge pins, it is not possible to install lever mechanics.
Like all Harpsicle Harps, it is available in many different colors.
Two strap pins allow it to be comfortably strapped on with a guitar strap so that it can even be played while standing or walking.

Grand Harpsicle® Harp
Available in red, blue, black, white metallic and natural.
The Grand Harpsicle® Harp is the big sister of the Harpsicle® Harps and one of the most extraordinary harps on the market.
It is an electric harp, but it can also be played unamplified and purely acoustic. Due to its resonating body, it has a much fuller and more dynamic sound compared to other compact, pure electric harps.
The Grand Harpsicle® Harp has 33 strings and the range of a large hook harp.
The treble strings are nylon, the bass strings are metal wound. Of course, it is fully equipped with "Rees" semitone keys.
With a height of 114cm and a weight of about 5kg this compact instrument is still very portable. It can either be played as a stand-up harp with the legs screwed on, or slung around with a shoulder strap (a bit similar to an electric guitar).
The Grand Harpsicle® Harp is equipped with a professional L.R. Baggs pickup system and built-in preamp, and can be connected to an amplifier with a standard jack cable ("guitar/instrument cable"). The harp sounds best through an acoustic or keyboard amplifier.
An electric guitar amplifier is less suitable,
because it makes the sound very sharp and thin.

Harpsicle Harps are equipped with specially developed "Rees levers".
These levers can be supplied by us at any time as replacements or for upgrading.
