PEDAL HARP Standard
Harpists in general prefer standard gauge strings for their modern pedal harps because they offer an ideal balance of tone, playability, and tension. This gauge delivers a well-rounded sound—resonant and clear without being overly bright or heavy—making it a versatile choice for both solo and ensemble performances.
The tension of standard gauge strings feels natural under the fingers, providing expressive control without unnecessary strain. This is especially important for extended practice sessions or long performances. Standard gauge also matches the typical design and voicing of today’s pedal harps, helping to maintain stable pitch and a consistent tonal response across the full range of the instrument.
We guarantee two usable lengths for all strings above the 3rd Octave. If you find you’re unable to achieve a second length, simply send us a photo of the string and packaging, and we’ll send a replacement.
We also stand by the quality of every string we produce. On the rare occasion that you encounter a string that doesn’t meet our standards, simply return it to us and we will happily send you a replacement .
PEDAL HARP Light Gauge
Light gauge strings are a popular choice for harpists seeking a more delicate touch and reduced tension on their instrument. They offer a slightly softer feel under the fingers, allowing for nuanced expression and ease of play—ideal for those with lighter technique or looking to minimise strain during longer sessions.
Tonally, light gauge strings provide a sweet, clear sound that’s slightly less powerful than standard gauge, but still beautifully resonant. They can be especially well-suited to early pedal harps, period instruments, or any harp where a gentler tension is preferred.
We guarantee two usable lengths for all light gauge strings above the 3rd Octave. If you’re unable to get a second length, simply send us a photo of the string and its packaging, and we’ll send you a replacement.

PEDAL HARP Heavy Gauge
Heavy gauge strings are favoured by harpists who want a fuller, more powerful tone with increased projection and presence. They offer higher tension, which can produce a robust, rich sound that holds up well in concert settings or when playing with other instruments.
While they require a slightly firmer touch, many players appreciate the stability and strength heavy gauge strings provide—particularly in the lower and middle registers. They’re well-suited to instruments that can accommodate the extra tension and to harpists looking for maximum tonal depth and dynamic range.
We guarantee two usable lengths for all heavy gauge strings above the 1st octave (including the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd octaves). If you’re unable to achieve a second length, just send us a photo of the string and packaging, and we’ll happily send a replacement.
Every string we make is held to the highest standard. On the rare occasion that you encounter a string that doesn’t meet our standards, simply return it to us and we will happily send you a replacement.
PEDAL HARP Wires
Our pedal harp wire strings are precision-made for strength, stability, and a clear, projecting tone. Whether you prefer nickel-plated or silver-plated options, each string is carefully crafted to deliver consistency, longevity, and a balanced response across the lower register of your harp.
PEDAL HARP Nylon
While we don’t produce nylon strings ourselves—due to their synthetic nature not aligning with our environmental policy—we understand that many harpists prefer to use a blend of nylon and gut. With this in mind, we’ve carefully sourced a selection of high-quality nylon strings that complement our gut range and meet the performance needs of modern players.
