25.01.2022 Fitting to CG event pedal harps into the Harps Australia van "Silver Bullet" is about our limit. A cold Sydney morning pick up at a hall, the day brightened up by the time we got home. Here is Warwick recuperating!

25.01.2022 Emilios first roadie gig, setting up one of our event harps at Mary Lattimores Red Rattler show last night. Keeping an eye out to direct traffic. Checking out the drinks bar. And riveted watching the action as Mary tuned and then sound checked his favourite harp, our old Style 23 Gold. Harp onstage in late performance, long after he was home in bed.

24.01.2022 Harps Australia short spot sales for long-term homes. From time to time we will be putting up short-term sales of 1-2 weeks, special prices for ex rental harps, as we renew our rental pools. We have other stock currently available for sale or for rental in our Leichhardt showroom. Our first spot sale harp is now posted on the Harps Australia Facebook page. Sale lasts until September 30.

24.01.2022 Two harps on hold for a short time at the factory and ready to ship now, once ordered. Lyon & Healy Ogden 34 mahogany finish. And Salvi Una 38 natural finish,... a professional lever harp Celtic design with rich tones and a deep bass. The unique Silk Gut copper bass strings are designed remove any jump in tonal quality from bass wire progression through non wire strings.

21.01.2022 Our temporary on-the-road showroom of instruments in Tecoma (Melbourne) on a lightening four day trip. These guys are all spoken for-sales or rentals.

21.01.2022 Stay tuned as we work out the details of our annual scholarship to Harp Holiday.

21.01.2022 Harps Australia is pleased to announce a new emphasis of benefit to the Australian harp community. Currently the very poor AUD is affecting affordability of all quality imported harps, including those from Lyon & Healy and Salvi. In an attempt to support teachers, students and players, we are offering expanded monthly rent-to-buy opportunities from our rental pool, as well as our usual rental system with the option to purchase a new Lyon & Healy/Salvi pedal or lever harp afte...r one rental period applying the first rental period amount. Pictured is a selection of available new and used harps (and our event harps-not for sale at this time) in the Harp Emporium in Leichhardt, Sydney. Contact us for current availability and details of the new rent-to-buy plan. We also have consignment instruments, both pedal and lever harps, placed with us from time to time. See more

20.01.2022 The Remy concert last weekend was highly inspirational. Here Warwick and Louise Johnson have electronic adventures setting up her various new "toys" with her electro acoustic harp. Warwicks past ABC sound engineer coming to the fore. Both Louise and I had our fingers in our ears during the speaker check, just in case! A close examination of the set up then....learning is doing. A fun afternoon had by all! No eardrums or electronic equipment were harmed in the making of this post.

19.01.2022 SOLD! STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT SPOT SALE. OR CONTACT US BY EMAIL TO FIND OUT WHAT IS COMING UP NEXT. Here is the first Spot Sale, lasting until September 30: A stunning little harp in the Harps Australia showroom is looking for a long term home. A proto type of our now newly developed Sophia Mini Classic 40 string harps, this Angle Mini Classic harp has 37 strings, lever gut stringing (lever nylon at the top, lever gut in the middle and mellow Pirastro wires on the bottom).... This was one of our Angel Harps-as once requested by a Gold Coast customer- modelled to look like a small pedal harp with white finish and gold painting on the soundboard. Only one year old, its been in the rental pool to just one family, and very lovingly looked after. On sale now until the end of the month for $3,450 ONO Incl GST. Note: The first rental period cannot be applied to purchase of this harp by past or current harp rental customers. Can be viewed by appointment in our Leichhardt showroom or in Melbourne next month.

17.01.2022 Closing for the Holidays. Reopening January 7. Seasons Greetins to All from Harps Australia. Contact us by email (on Harps Australia Website www.harpsaustralia.com ) for string replacements rental harps or harp rental questions.

17.01.2022 Last few days to order in 2019 before Lyon & Healy/Salvi close for the holidays. Reopening early January. Phone orders being taken now (please email us as well).

16.01.2022 Chicago CG Ex just in and being tuned up in the Sydney Harp Emporium. This is going out to St. Catherines Girls school in Sydney, after we finish tuning her up and settling her down after her journey. Young Emilio is impressed- so many harps look at, including this little carbon fibre Legend 36 string harp built by Heartland Harps.

16.01.2022 Remy van Kesteren will be there on Saturday night. Not to be missed. Brilliant harpist, using our Salvi Delta and L&H Style 23 Gold.

15.01.2022 Delivery of our newest gorgeous harp baby (Style 23 Bronze) to its "forever home" in Sydney. A faithful guardian standing guard !

15.01.2022 Harps Australia on the road again, down the Hume Highway to Melbourne with a load of harps to deliver. Only the (silver) van load though, not really a road train!

15.01.2022 Its been a while between posts as we have been busy midwifing 6 new lever harps (and 1 pedal harp) into the Harps Australia rental pool. Of the six, only one is left to be rented. Here is a forest of harps waiting to go to new renters, in some cases to be shipped interstate. Its very rare that we have this many harps in the waiting room, and they come and go out of the 5 rental pools (both pedal and lever harps, between 50-60 harps in schools and private homes) very quickly so viewing before you rent is often difficult. We can send out pictures, and most of the teachers can describe our different harp varieties for you. First rental periods can apply to purchase of a harp from us-either the Sophia line instrument you rental or a new Lyon & Healy or Salvi lever or pedal harp.

14.01.2022 A happy new harpist with his rental harp from Harps Australia! Many wonderful years of study and fun ahead.

13.01.2022 Another orphan harp has found its way to the Harps Australia doorstep. Lucky this lovely Style 100 has a good home to go to, and a very excited owner. Hand selected at the factory for its new owners tonal specifications.

06.01.2022 About to get back into the swing of the New Year in our Leichhardt office/showroom/ rental depot after two trips already up and down with Harps between Melbourn...e and Sydney. And a pesky summer virus shared thoughtfully between us and our little grandson. Stay tuned for news and sales. Meanwhile, here is a photo of an award presented to us at the end of last year by Lyon & Healy/Salvi that reads "In Recognition of Your Outstanding Sales, Service and Support". See more

06.01.2022 We had such fun last night contributing to the brand new Sydney "International Zone Out Festival" at the Carriageworks near Newtown. Harps Australia provided two event harps for the Netherlands harpist and electronic performance artist Remy Van Kesteren. He used both our showroom Salvi Delta Electric harp and our 1926 (circa) Gold Style 23. Showcasing the old and the new! Rey is a masterful musician, story-teller and and creative electronic artist. The evening was a journey of light and music, hugely enjoyed by the audience. Dont miss it down in Melbourne, if the show isnt alrady sold out (it was in Sydney!). Photos: A picture of the set up on stage. Waiting in anticipation. And the session in full swing.

05.01.2022 No rest for the wicked. Up early to deliver the 2nd Harps Australia event harp they needed to take part in the huge extravaganza this week at Sydney Grammar. This is their concert hall, at the school! Malcolm Turnbulls Alma mater, it turns out. Lucky we have a van for the two harp move back to Leichhardt next week.

01.01.2022 Boy meets harp! The newest harp to come through the showroom for its inspection and tune up is a beauty. A Lyon & Healy Style 23 Bronze.

01.01.2022 Twins! As part of our continuing upgrade of the lever harp rental pools to more models of Lyon & Healy and Salvi instruments, we are able to release these two ...models of the Taliesin 34, both in excellent condition.
