Gothic Harps
I make them according to historical or modern way of construction. The modern way shows a crossgrained soundboard, frame construction and relativly strong tension of strings. Historial gothic harps have got a body carved out of the solid wood and because of the grain of the soundboard less tension of the strings. This harps are of lower loudness when strung with gut.
Model "Montsalvat"
The design was developed during a harp making seminar mainly by Anne Marie Scholz. It features 34 up to 36 strings ranging from C or AA to a3 has got a gothic form, but is of modern construction. The sound is very warm and due to the relativly long strings rich with overtones.
