The Clare 34

Also see the Ceili .

Walnut Clare shown with a Koa Thormahlen Guitar and a Yew Wood Thormahlen Ukelele (Yewkelel).

The new Clare 34 was designed to be strung with nylon, folk gut, or fluorocarbon strings. It is an extraordinary harp. The folk gut strings give it a warm tone and the fluorocarbon strings give it a bright tone. The nylon strings are somewhere in between.

The Clare harp is the same shape as the Ceili. It is built like the Cygnet and Swan with a solid wood of your choice, a full stave back, and a solid wood veneered soundboard. It was designed with the traditional Irish player in mind with a light string tension from low C to high A and, like the Ceili, it has a slightly narrower string spacing than our other harps. It is levered with Camac levers and comes with a case, a tuning key and a five year warranty. Weighing in at 21-22 lbs, it is small, light and easy to carry. The Clare is made with the same loving care that goes into all our Thormahlen Harps.
