Why we need you…
To allow our Students to create 48 professional quality harps over our first 4 years, and to enable us to keep those harps to support more young players, we must raise enough funds to pay for the timber & materials to make those harps.
The cost of timber, materials and strings for one professional harp is £1,600
The cost of those materials for 48 harps over our first 4 years will be £76,000
As a Community Interest Company, The Scottish School of Harp Making CIC operates on a not-for-profit basis, with assets locked to benefit the community.
The School’s work is designed to become self-sustaining over future years, with harp rental income supporting future training places and the purchase of harp making materials.
With Special Thanks to our Patrons, Angels & Supporters
