23 String Rosella  Our new little harp is named after the colourful parrots that gather in flocks in our bush garden, cheekily demanding handouts.  This harp has been designed as an affordable introductory lap harp, currently available in “flocks” (natural finish, or in the bright blues and reds of the Scarlet Rosella, or the blue, greens and yellows of the Eastern Rosella) for Pull Your Own Harpstrings Classes offered by Jacquie in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.   Flocks of Rosella harps are also currently available for other teacher’s workshops.

This little harp features medium folk harp tension, concert harp spacing; and its portable handles for carrying making it an ideal choice for both a child or an adult’s first harp or for harp choirs in school and communities. However, like all of Harps Australia’s instruments it is also designed with a beautiful, full sound.  The Rosella’s range extends down to a wire wrap C (fifth octave), with wrapped strings continuing for an octave, making them a portable instrument for therapeutic music that includes a resonate low range, unlike the decidedly un-therapeutic, “thunky” sound produced by some small, loosely strung harps that are only monofilament nylon in this range. 

The Rosella harp will be available for sale to individuals and schools in mid 2008, call us for price and availability estimates (contact us).
