ABOUT HARP-E

Harp-E is redefining what the harp can be. It  is the first portable, accessibly-priced electric harp with stage-quality sound. Based in the creative heart of East London, Harp-E is on a mission to bring string instruments into the 21st century. Having established a global presence, we are now pushing the boundaries of musical innovation to create instruments that are portable, contemporary, and built for the next generation of performers.
