Easy on the ears but incredibly hard to play, the harp carries an air of mystique akin to the ethereal sounds it is known to produce. One of the oldest instruments in human history, the harp continues to captivate with its timeless elegance. The harp’s otherworldly, gentle timbre isn’t limited to scoring the journey to the pearly gates via its 40 + strings either. Thanks to its celestial versatility it can lend a certain kind of magical aura to recordings of any genre ranging from classical romanticism to experimental 60s rock to modern pop. And with our dedicated Synchron Harp Player you can now glide through sophisticated harp pieces, even with average keyboard skills.

While harps can achieve dreamy sounds no other instrument can produce, they provide unique challenges for players. It’s almost impossible to master a demanding piece just by sight-reading, requiring adequate time to prepare and work out the pedaling. Even some of the greatest classical composers often found it difficult to write for the harp. With this in mind, harp playing just got easier. We recorded Tina Žerdin, long-time virtuoso harpist of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra as she played a wonderful Lyon & Healy Style 30 Concert Grand harp in the pristine acoustics of the large hall of Synchron Stage Vienna. And to make it playable “just like the real thing” we developed the unique Synchron Harp Player that lets you effortlessly recreate all the typical glissandos and harmonies these instruments are famous for.
