Pedro Ferreira has made a very interesting and nice new harp which he is offering for sale brand new. This is an unusual opportunity to acquire a new instrument from a respected maker of Irish harps, because normally instruments like this are only available as special commissions, with a waiting list.
Here is what Pedro has to say about it:
Downhill Harp FOR SALE

This version is less decorated than the original, but follows the same design, quality, features, materials and finishing of the fully decorated version. It has a hollowed out soundbox and is strung with 30 brass strings.
