Visit the Harp Centre of Wales When you think of Welsh culture, it is the language it's music and it's songs which first comes to mind.

In the heart of rural Wales the Welsh Harp is still hand made by skilled harp makers at the Welsh Harp Centre in Llayndysul. Harps are very important to Wales. The harp's musical heritage is deeply and passionately entrenched in our culture, and the harp is undoubtedly our national instrument.

With this precious legacy in mind they aim to ensure that harp-making skills are kept alive, and actually thrive, in Wales - the home of the harp. Founded by harp-maker Allan Shires, the Welsh Harp Centre is a small company with a big passion for harps. They know that the most important element of any harp is its sound, and 'Telynau Teifi' produce in producing an instrument that sounds wonderful.
Harps are the music of Wales a major part of Welsh culture


The harps made at the Welsh Harp Centre have have a truly distinctive sound - huge, rich and warm, with a clear, ringing treble. Harpists are delighted with the responsiveness of the instrument, and the clarity and depth of sound that can be achieved with these harps. For those begining to play the harp, these Welsh folk harps use the same string spacing as larger concert harps, so stepping up to a full concert harp in the future is an easy step.
