MacArthur Harp or Zither-Harp

<< Back to Specialty Projects

The MacArthur or zither-harp dates back approximately to the late eighteen hundreds and the early nineteen hundreds. The zither-harp has a lovely, quiet sweet sound which originates from its eleven melody strings and twelve chord strings. The standard tuning combines to make three cords: C, F and G7.

The standard version of the MacArthur Harp is tuned to the key of C. A version for tuning in the key of D is also available. Custom key configuration is possible upon request.

The woods used for the construction of this model are cherry for the frame and black walnut for the top and back. Custom woods for the top and back can be selected to attain different sound characteristics.

Instrument dimensions are – height: 20 inches, width: 11 inches, and depth: 3½ inches.

This instrument will not succumb to the stress of its design.
