The Nifty Harp Project C.I.C.

Increasing the number of new players taking up the harp.

A not-for-profit community interest enterprise based in The Scottish Borders; The Nifty Harp Project has a simple aim – to make it easier and more affordable for new players to take up the harp.

A beautiful professional harp is unquestionably a worthwhile investment. However, the initial cost of several thousand pounds can be the very thing that puts it out of reach for many who want to try and see if the harp is the instrument for them.

To introduce more new players to the pleasure of harp playing we needed to create an affordable instrument that ‘feels’ right to play. A good starter will make the learning process inspirational and satisfying and will also encourage good playing technique from the start.

“The Wee Nifty Harp is a lovely wee creature that simply encourages people to give the harp a try. I love that Mark Norris has managed to pour his decades of experience, as one of Scotland’s finest harp makers, into something so accessible, friendly and reassuringly robust.”

Gillian FleetwoodPerformer and Teacher

“An affordable and easy to transport starter harp with a lovely sound. Ideal to take around our community projects to introduce people to the instrument.”

Meinir Llwyd RobertsDirector, Canolfan Gerdd William Mathias

“The Wee Nifty is an ideal starter harp as it is so light and portable; making it perfect for students/teachers to use for lessons and workshops. As they can be used with a stand, we have found them ideal for workshops with people who have additional physical and learning needs, with wheelchair users particularly benefitting from their unique design.”

Adel and Karina Wilson2 of Harps - International Harp and Vocal Duo

“I love the size and tone of the Wee Nifty Harp.  It’s a really lovely sound, easy to carry, keeps in tune well, levers easily added and can be amplified for extra volume.  It’s a good allrounder and excellent value for money.”

Corinna HewatPrincipal Scottish Harp Tutor, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
