Cinematique Instruments Celtic Nylon Harp

The wooden instrument ranges in three octaves and has got 22 strings which are made of nylon and are plucked with the fingers.

Celtic Nylon Harp was recorded in several velocity layers and 4 Round Robin variations in two different mic positions (firstly very close and secondly at the sound hole at the rear of the harp), giving different sound variations. With the ModWheel you can control the length and decay of the strings giving you feeling of damping, the company says. Beyond that you have got the possiblity of using the harp in a glissando or an arpeggiator mode.
