Please notice the really small size of this new model with a perfect tonal range for baroque music.

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'''.
