A short time to build, the rest of your life to play!
All harps come in kit form with all parts included. (Additional option to purchase assembled kit.) Hardwood components attach to a sturdy, corrugated sound box. You will only need very basic tools. Instructions are clear and easy. Decorate your own. Great for family fun! Includes strings & tuning wrench.
The only items necessary for building the easy to assemble harp kit are glue and a screwdriver. There are two basic parts of the Waring Harp: the frame that defines the triangular shape of the harp, and the sound box for resonance. The sound box is die-cut in one piece from 3-ply corrugated cardboard. When painted, it is resistant even to rain. Treat it like any musical instrument and it will last many, many years. The hardwood frame is comprised of the string rib, pillar, and neck. Nineteen strings allow for over a two-octave range, enough to accommodate the playing of most any song. Zither pins (with tuning wrench) will provide tension for tuning the nylon strings.
