Horngacher

Music is the language of angels. Thomas Carlyle

Each Horngacher harp is handcrafted from carefully selected materials. And this production can take up to 800 hours of carefully applied and specialised technique, honed over many years. Only a production of such high quality can produce such a faultless sound and this is why many famous soloists and orchestras are our satisfied customers. We endeavour to fulfil all individual wishes in both stylistic and technical details and offer a wide range of accessories and specialised services.

Style and sumptuous ornamentation are a common feature of all hornagcher instruments and this shows the love of the makers for all details. The individual wishes of the customer are always welcomed.

Horngacher Concert Harp Making is renowned worldwide for its quality, extensive knowledge in the field and attention to detail. Horngacher harp making can look back with pride on the professional experience gathered over decades.

Personalised Instruments

Whether eye-catching elegance or beautiful ornamentation; all Horngacer instruments are lovingly crafted to the last detail. On top of our basic instruments, we can also fulfil the wishes of our customers who have their own design requests. The main column can be customised according to the wishes of our customers and the suggestions of our wood designers. In doing so, we preserve the dimensions of the instrument and the information we have. Contact us for possibilities.

Technical Specifications and Pros

Sound System

We offer a new Sound System developed with Harpists and Sound technicians since 1999. This Sound System allows the Harp to be played in many different environments and conditions. The various string pins and their carefully located locations ensure that the natural Harp sound is not distorted. With the accompanying Effect Instruments, a wide spectrum of different sounds can be achieved. Retrofitting of the Sound System is possible for all Horngacher and Obermayer Harps.

Suspension Mechanism(?)

This special Suspension Mechanism was produced at the request of Nicanor Zabaleta. Thanks to continuous development, the function of the mechanism has been optimised. Technically very demanding, this special mechanism is used to soften the steel strings with the eighth pedal. A layer of felt-coated brass moves towards the strings with the movement of the pedal, softening the sound. The eighth pedal is located next to the H-Pedal at a point set at a distance from the other pedals.
