  • Answer: Stoney End offers two main collections with distinct characteristics:

    Celtic Collection Harps: Inspired by the historic Brian Boru harp, these feature higher string tension, metal-wound bass strings, and offer a wide dynamic range with powerful projection. They're ideal for performers who need volume and tonal variety for Celtic music, folk, and contemporary genres.

    Gothic Collection Harps: These have a more slender profile with lighter string tension and typically use nylon bass strings. The lighter tension makes them easier to play for beginners and those with smaller hands, yet they're still fully capable of playing Celtic music, hymns, therapeutic pieces, and various other styles.

    Both collections are available in multiple sizes and string counts to suit different musical needs and preferences.

  • Answer: Stoney End's cross strung harps feature two rows of strings that cross in the middle, allowing players to access a full chromatic range without using levers. This innovative design is perfect for playing complex classical music, jazz, and contemporary pieces that require frequent accidentals and key changes. Cross strung harps offer a unique playing experience and expand the harmonic possibilities beyond traditional lever harps.
