46" lengths - red, blue, clear
Robinson's Harp Shop, Vermont Strings and North Shore Strings manufacture custom strings for harp players around the world. Each wrapped string is hand-crafted; the core of each wrapped string is placed under tension as it is made. Individual strings and string sets can be made for most harps as we have string specifications for hundreds of harps on file. If specifications are not known, we can design strings which should work for your harp.
All lengths and diameters are shown in inches. Any string of a type not listed here or with an overall diameter larger than .080 will be priced accordingly.
For any nylon wrapped strings requiring a "looped out" or "whipped finish" knot, add $2.00
to the prices listed above. Such knots are generally used when the customary knots are too large to fit through the soundboard eyelet. Strings with .025 wrap will be "whipped" unless requested otherwise.
To ensure satisfaction, we need certain information. When ordering a wrapped string, specify its composition (e.g. N/N or SFC - see above), diameters of core and wrap, and its vibrating length ("V/L" - distance from soundboard hole to bridge pin, measured in inches). Ample core will be included on the string to attach it to its tuning peg. If you do not have the core/wrap information, send us a piece of the broken string and its vibrating length. If your harp maker provided a string chart, please send a copy. Telephone or e-mail us if you have questions.
