Gwennol in Cherry

Gwennol in black walnut

 

Teifi Gwennol

The Gwennol is Teifis folk harp model. It is a smaller model than the Eos with a lower string tension. The harp is built to last and made from carefully selected hardwoods. It is made in Black Walnut or Cherry. Teifi harps are named after singing birds and Gwennol is the Welsh word for 'Swallow'. 

 

Years of research and development have perfected the revolutionary Teifi semi-tone mechanism. Traditional blades and levers can often deaden the string and lead to a loss of sound, but our device gives perfect pitch while retaining the string's resonance.

 

Extra's can be added like coloured paintwork, wood carving on neck and pillar, Bubinga character hardwood instead of Walnut or Cherry or a painted pattern on the soundboard.

 

Features of the Gwennol:

  • 34 strings, reaching over 4 ¾ octaves, from the C two octaves below the central C to the A (2 ¾ octaves above the central C). 

  • Gut strings.

  • A bit lower string tension then the bigger model "Eos".

  • Made of solid Cherry, Walnut, Beech or Ash.

  • Really smooth and precise levers with rotating discs, not blades or hooks.

  • Height: 1.17 meters.

  • Weight: 11,5 kilos.

  • A leg set to raise he playing height is available.
