Why choose us?
We have been handcrafting our lever and pedal harps since 1980 and we are the only pedal harp makers in the UK.
You can be safe in the knowledge you are dealing directly with the harp makers. The moment you call us, you tap straight into our expertise. Depending upon your query, you can ask to speak to one of our harpists, talk to one of the master craftsmen or even to our artist.
We can help you whether you’re a top professional or a complete beginner. While we can meet all your harp needs, we’re not so big that our customers remain anonymous. Many tell us how much they appreciate being made to feel like old friends, and this is borne out by our many loyal customers who come to us time and again.
The real heartbeat of Pilgrim Harps is our workshop. Right from the start, when the wood is seasoned and marked out, and then as it moves through the various stages through to the finishing process, each harp is the creation of experienced hands.
We enjoy creating harps that are as unique as their owners, and offer an extensive choice of finishes designed to bring out an instrument’s full natural beauty, while protecting it through many years of pleasure. We also offer elegant hand-painted decoration and hand-carving.
One of our greatest joys here at Pilgrim Harps, is receiving messages, calls or emails from our customers, expressing their delight upon receiving their new harp.
