About the Siff Saff
‘Siff Saff’ is Welsh for the Chiff Chaff that we hear singing in the Teifi valley here in West Wales. The Siff Saff 34-string folk lever harp is our ‘student’ model harp. Designed by listening to your feedback and building upon previous models, this harp is ideal for beginners whilst also being suitable for more experienced players. It amplifies beautifully for gigging harpists who would like a lighter weight harp to travel with!
It comes with detachable legs and a tuning key. All parts of the Siff Saff (with the exception of the strings and Camac levers) are designed and made by us in our workshop which means we can ensure a high quality instrument which is built to last.
Semitone Levers and Strings
The Siff Saff comes fully fitted with Camac levers and is strung with with lever gauge Silkgut strings. Silkgut is a composite material specially designed by Bow Brand to have a similar sound to gut, but being a synthetic material it is slightly easier on the fingers, making it perfect for beginners! The strings are also less susceptible to changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure and moisture, meaning that they stay in tune for longer than gut strings strings – again, we finds this can be helpful for beginners and children who are still gaining confidence in caring for their harps. It’s also a great option for the vegetarians and vegans out there!
