Allen Tefft, Celtic Harpmaker I am a harp maker, and a second generation luthier committed to excellence and hand tooled methods of construction. All of my instruments are made with patience and love from fine materials, and come with a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. I do mostly custom orders that are specific to the harpist. Angel wing & other psalteries are made to order for period music revivalists; lyres also.

Alun Thomas — Welsh maker of Celtic and Triple Harps
I make Celtic lever harps ranging from 22 to 36 strings. I also make three models of triple harp to my own unique design. These have 81 to 96 strings, and are far more stable than the traditional design whilst retaining the unique sound. I use only the finest materials, and buy in no ready-made fittings: everything on my harps is made by me in my own workshop, from wood or brass. I also repair and restore all types of harp.
