To order, for more information, to request audio files of the instrument, shipping cost estimates, waiting times or other requests, send us an email to: info@camillamargheritaferrari.it
All models can be made left-handed, if specified in the request email.

———————————————————————————————

The instruments are made to order but to limit waiting times as much as possible, we try to have at least one model of each type under construction, in a more or less advanced state. Waiting times can therefore vary, usually between 2 and 12 months depending on the state of the work, the finishing and the workload at the time of the order. The waiting time will be communicated in the response to the order (i.e. before confirming the order) or following your request by e-mail.

Since the instruments are handcrafted, the measures may slightly vary as well as the tones of color because of the different colors of wood, different from plant to plant, and the alteration due to photography and the type of display monitor.

· Tagelharpa has a structure made of solid Fir with high thickness while both soundboard and backboard are made of Resonance Fir from Val di Fiemme, a generous wood that, with legno generoso che, through appropriate arrangements and couplings, it allows to produce a sound volume superior to all the other models, with very high fullness and acoustic details.
In this model, electrifiable as the other models but which most fully expresses its extraordinariness in acoustics, the constructive aspects have been particularly taken care of, intended to achieve the best possible sound, robustness, tuning stability and practicality of use.

· The bridge is made based on a special design looking for the best sound definition, the backboard in resonant fir (as the soundboard) ensures greater acoustic power, the carefully positioned soundpost brings the most efficient distribution of sounds and special hardwood bushings set in the peg seats give stability, durability, and rigidity.

· The rigid selection of materials and the constructive care make this excellent Tagelharpa for both the professional and for the enthusiast who seeks a tool by the acoustic and mechanical qualities of the upper level.

History

The Tagelharpa (also called Talharpa) is a bowed lyre orgined in northern Europe. It spread widely in Scandinavia after the Viking age and is still used in some of the northern territories (of particular importance the tradition of the Estonian islands). Its existence in medieval Scandinavia is witnessed by artistic and archaeological sources, such as the wall painting in Røldal (XII-XIII century) and the sculpture of Trondheim Cathedral (XIV century). Also widely spread its close Finnish relative, the Jouhikko.
