This handmade cherry and walnut Windsor chair is my harp bench. The chair was designed for a cellist but works perfectly for playing the harp. It was custom made to fit my leg and back lengths by “Michael the Chairmaker” in eastern North Carolina.
Sitting on this chair, with my harp pulled back on my shoulder, is where I feel the most at home.

/ February 14, 2013I hope Ming was thoroughly delighted by his first harp lesson. Be careful though…..the harp could reach out and grab you as well!

/ February 14, 2013And sitting in it while playing feels just as wonderful as it looks. I can play for hours without noticing the time has passed, so much so that I have to set a timer to remind me to stand up and stretch.

/ February 12, 2013Wow, that’s a nice chair, fancy design!! I use a piano stool whenever I play the harp.

/ February 14, 2013I can see a piano stool working if you can adjust it to fit your height. I used a keyboard bench for a while, but the adjustments left me either an inch too low or an inch too tall. It is wonderful having a seat that fits perfectly.

/ February 14, 2013Michael makes them completely with hand tools, just like chairs were made in the 1700’s. The design definitely passes the test of time.

/ February 14, 2013Thanks, Cheryl. I think home is where your heart is full, and mine definitely is when I am on my chair and at my harp.
