Travel Harp Luna: Small Harp Big Sound
Small harp - large range
The travel harp Luna was developed with the aim to create a small harp with a large range.
Producing a warm resonant sound
Usually the compromise to build a small, lightweight harp results in a relatively small gamut (mostly in a range of 25-28 strings) as well as a small sound box.
Thus the swinging soundboard and the cavity of the soundbox are small and prevent a resonant, warm sound.
Distinctly Superior to other travel harps
The harp model Luna’s construction diverges from the norm and despite a very small overall size we achieved a large, swinging soundboard and large sound box – generating a warm, full and strong sound that stands out distinctly to other travel harps.
It´s a big sound.
Travel harp Luna with 34 or 27 strings
The lateral attachment of the strings allows for 34 strings on a size of only approx 30/22/4 inch (78/55/10 cm). That´s smaller than a harpsicle. Luna is also available with 27 strings.
However the Luna27 does not have the full and warm sound like a Luna34, because it only has a thin body, similar to other comparabele instruments on the market.
Patented sound improvement
With travel harp Luna 34 the corpus widens at the bottom leading to an essential sound improvement (patented).
Thus the sound becomes warm, soft and full.
Strictly speaking and by definition Luna’s construction is not a harp but it has the same tuning (E flat major) and alignment of strings as a standard harp.
Because the string tension is rather small as customary with travel harps the Luna harp already responds to a light touch.
Harp Bag for Travel Harp Luna
Of course, a well padded harp bag is also available.
Fitted with a handle, backpack straps and a pocket for the optional alu-harpstand and music sheets.
With this bag Luna can be transported very easy and well protected.
Harp Stand for Travel Harp Luna
With the special made aluminium stand Luna can be used like a floor harp.
The stand weights only 2 Ibs (0,9 kg) and can be transported in the front case of the harp bag.
Amplification for Travel Harp Luna
If you wish, it´s also possible to install a piezo pickup for amplification.
The K&K Big Twin Universal Internal has proven itself for this.
The pickup works pretty well for travel harp Luna without a preamp.
Harp Strap for Travel Harp Luna
Strap your harp on to play standing or moving around.
The harp strap set includes an easy adjustable cotton guitar strap and a attachable padded brace to avoid tilting over of the harp.
Equipped with Schaller S-Locks strap holders, the guitar strap can be quickly and securely attached and removed.
Different options to play Luna Harp
The small size of travel harp Luna offers a lot of possibilities how to hold the harp in many situations.
