The Celtic harp is the ancestor of the modern classical concert harp.  It is the traditional instrument played in Ireland, Scotland, Britanny, and Scandanavia.  Less imposing in stature than its descendent the concert harp, the Celtic harp has stood the test of time in beauty, simplicity, and tradition.

Although the Celtic harp is smaller than the concert classical harp, it has an equally resonant voice and mellifluous tone.  Much of the classical repertoire can be played on the Celtic harp with the exception of pieces with excessive chromatic changes.  This is due to the absence of pedals that are moved by the feet on the classical harp, which on the Celtic harp are replaced by levers moved by the hand.
