Harps
We offer two harp models: The Koster Arianrhod and the Koster Castle Ffogarty. Each custom instrument is crafted using the finest quality, hand-selected hardwoods and engineered for structural integrity and beautiful, even tone throughout its range. Our harps are constructed of your choice of maple, walnut, padauk, cherry, or sustainably harvested koa. The nylon-string harp has a spruce soundboard with a veneer that complements the wood chosen. They are exclusive of decoration, but if you desire special decorative features, we will discuss that with you. They have a 5-year warranty, but are built to last for decades.

The mandol is a large mandolin- style instrument used in North Africa (e.g., Algeria and Tunisia) that is tuned to DADG or EADG. It is made of mahogany wood.
The Electrolyre is a solid body electric harp with frets. It is played holding it outward from the chest, like a classical lyre. One hand plucks the strings while the other hand presses the strings against the frets for sharps and flats. It can be rested in the lap or played while standing using a strap. It has 17 strings, a two and one half octave range from middle C to G, and three chromatic frets per string. It is made of quilted maple and hard maple with an ebony fingerboard and an electric guitar-like finish. The Electrolyre has an output signal which is compatible with guitar effects pedals.
