     In Ireland you'll find a small, lightweight, lighter-strung traditional harp that's widely used by the top players, especially those in the Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann  tradition (pronounced coal-tis kyol-tory áir-ahn). This model features the Savarez Alliance ('carbon') strings. The thin, solid cedar soundboard produces a tone that is surprisingly strong, clear and bright, with rich harmonics. It is easy on the fingers to play, comfortable to hold and light to carry around.
