Welcome to Harp Spectrum!

Our mission is to gather and share information on all kinds of harps and harp music.

In this site, you will find photos, essays, artwork, and information about music for the harp. Historical harp, folk harp, pedal harp and harp building are already included, with more articles to come. You will also find information suitable for harp students, teachers, composers and the general public.

Resources for composition, playing styles and technique will eventually be included, and with relevant links to related topics, including profiles of famous performers, the harp in ensembles, various folk, jazz/pop and ethnic harps. All these are a part of the spectrum.

Our authors come from many different countries and backgrounds. We are still seeking contributions, so if you have something you'd like to share, feel free to contact us. Please note that this site is under on-going construction and changes frequently as submissions are received. Currently, this site includes audio clips and images so that you can see and hear samples of the harps talked about, as well as the artists who play them. We hope that these will greatly enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the diverse articles that we're presenting. Come on in and enjoy! Indeed!
