In addition to our traditionally-strung lap and floor harps, Stoney End also makes a selection of cross-strung and double-strung specialty harps. These unique instruments open up a world of musical possibilities—such as frequent key changes, alternate tunings, echoing, and counterpoint. You’ll be amazed by what these many-stringed harps can play!
The Esabelle Cross-Strung harp is a fully chromatic lap harp. On the traditional 5/7 style, one set of strings are the natural notes or “white keys” on a piano, and the second set are the sharps and flats or “black keys”. The two sets of strings cross in the center, allowing the full chromatic range to be played with each hand. On the 6/6 version, the two sets of intersecting strings are evenly spaced, and each string is one half-step up or down from its adjacent strings. This harp is vital for new age, jazz, or world musicians, who often require frequent key changes, accidentals, and non-western tunings. Requires no lever sharpening or re-tuning.
