“ The Aldeburgh is a superb harp! The bottom of the soundboard extension is an innovative new idea and there is generous hand room at the top of the instrument.”
​Danielle Perrett  

The exquisitely turned pillar and gracefully shaped pedal-box and pillar base-plate, naturally combine both a classic and contemporary style. The Aldeburgh shares the same essential features as its sister harp, The Malvern. It has the full range of 47 strings, is strung with the finest gut strings to the very top and it weighs just 31 kg (69 lbs). As with all our 47 string pedal harps, The Malvern is fitted with front-foot castors, making it much easier to move around a room or concert platform.
Launched in 2009, this harp is our tribute to Benjamin Britten, one of the greatest British composers. He and Peter Pears co-founded the world famous Aldeburgh Festival for which he also composed many important works. Britten once wrote of Aldeburgh: “I have tried to bring music to it in the shape of our local festival, and all the music I write comes from it.” Britten wrote a number of significant compositions for the harp, especially the Ceremony of Carols and the Harp Suite.
