String_Shoes_AElf_Scienne_Earn.jpg
Stirling silver string shoes - tiger eye screw covers30 viewsThe string shoes were designed and cast in stirling silver by my local gem club the Deception bay Gem club. They are of a closed design in that the strings pass through a hole in the design the mounting area is joined.
The 6mm Tigereye semi precious cabochons are used to cover the screws that assist in fastening the soundboard to the sound box. Gem stones of you preference can be used to do this.
Tuner_Tote.jpg
Tuner Tote16 viewsI noticed when harpers/harpist used an electronic tuner to tune their harp they were always looking for somewhere to put the tuner. This accessory will solve this problem. It will allow you to mount your tuner on to your harp pillar in a location where it is always visible to you thus making tuning your harp an easy comfortable task with you tuner always in view. You can even use a pickup if you need to.

Harp_yoke.jpg
Harp yoke.11 viewsThere are a number of variations on the market. The Phyrsong Harps harp yoke allows the weight of the harp to be below the level of the thighs. It is also shaped to fit comfortably over the top of your thighs. This ensures better stability of the harp therefore it is easier to play. Can be made to suit most types of small harp
