GOTHIC HARP
Features
Gothic harp based on the blueprint designed by Sethen Korbert in 1996.
The Harp has an unknown author and was built in Germany around 1700.
The original artifact is in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Collection of Musical Instruments.
The original instruments were built in Maple wood(Acer Pseudoplatanus)with arm in Pereira(Pyrus communis). In this project we chose to use Freijó wood(Cordia goeldiana Huber, Boraginaceae)and imbuia (Ocotea Porosa). Aquila brand NGH strings were used.
