ARPA DA VIAGGIO
Italian Triple Harp 'Arpa de tres ordini'
Creation of the harpmaker Rainer M. Thurau (created in
2003)
Very small italian triple harp for easy world wide
traveling
This chromatic harp italian style was developed on request of
costumers, who always have
been looking for an extra small but
well-sounding
triple harp for traveling without any problems at aeroplanes.
Due to its size this model is
also an excellent student harp for young
beginners of triple harps.
Construction, design and sound
of the ARPA DA VIAGGIO bases on the
creation of harpmaker Thurau's
CELLINI (to be seen at this website).
Although this harp has been
created by harpmaker Thurau to satisfy
modern demands by todays
harpists it is proved that also in the baroque
period very small three row chromatic harps did exist.
Even the ARPA DA VIAGGIO is
much smaller as any other italian triple
harp the tonal quality and the
carrying power of this really small triple
harp is amazing. Possibly the
smallest triple harp existing
worldwide, the ARPA DA VIAGGIO
offers also comprehensive
possibilities for concert performance with a tonal range from C to e'''.
