About Telynau Teifi - The Harp and Wales
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, Telynau Teifi aims 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, and aided by Objective One and Ceredigion Local Regeneration Fund grant, Telynau Teifi is a small company with a big passion for harps. We know that the most important element of any harp is its sound, so we invest our traditional craftsmanship and technological innovation, in producing an instrument that sounds wonderful.
Teifi harps speak for themselves. They 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 our harps.
But a sound is only great if it is consistent. We use only the finest
hand-selected materials to make harps that are stable and reliable.
Sturdy instruments that work as hard as you do.
Telynau Teifi wants harp enthusiasts everywhere benefit from the results of the company's vision and unique method, in combining tried and tested traditional techniques with innovation and vision, in the exciting quest for the perfect harp.
