This leads us to suppose that either the soundboard was replaced at some point, or the instrument was a custom order, more sparsely decorated.

When you consider how much\u00a0competition had existed between Erard and Naderman about their harps, it is interesting to see that Naderman\u00a0eventually adopted what would become the standard for harp mechanism (even if he never made a double-action harp).<\/p>\n<p>This late Naderman harp has an incredible sound, and will be played in concert in Nancy for the first time since the nineteenth\u00a0century, as part of Elinor Bennett&#8217;s recital on historical instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Elinor will also perform on our Welsh triple harp. \u00a0Jakez is particularly fond of this instrument, not least because it took him ages to find!\u00a0The triple harp is fully chromatic but is &#8211; as Elinor succinctly puts it &#8211; &#8220;considered to be rather difficult to play&#8221;. The two outside rows of strings are tuned in the same key, but all the chromatic notes are in the middle row.<\/p>\n<p>The triple harp ( also known as Arpa Doppia, and Arpa a Tre Registri) has three rows of strings, and was invented in Italy during the late 17th century, to give harpists more strings on their instruments, and be able to play the new music of composers such as Monteverdi and Trabaci. The instrument became popular in many European courts during the 18th century, including France and England. It was the only harp known to Baroque composers such as Handel (it was used by him in his Harp Concerto, and oratorios).<\/p>\n<p>Welsh harpists of the 18th century adopted the triple harp, while it was forgotten elsewhere in Europe owing to the rise of single- and double-action instruments by Cousineau, Naderman and Erard. Later, the triple harp was also fiercely\u00a0defended and promoted in\u00a0Wales by the aristocratic, wealthy and influential Lady Hall of Llanofer. She established a triple harp factory on her estate in the south of Wales during the mid 19th century. The instrument\u00a0in our collection\u00a0was certainly influenced by the design of the Llanofer harps, with the harp resting on the left shoulder to accommodate the custom of old Welsh harpists of playing the bass with the right hand.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2126\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 188px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" td-modal-image wp-image-2126 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"Triple Harp\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-300x480.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-800x1280.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-55x88.jpg 55w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant-250x400.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-harpe-4446-avant.jpg 875w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Welsh Triple Harp,\u00a01896, luthier unknown.\u00a0Original construction: the harp rests on the left shoulder, the left hand plays the melody and the right hand, the bass.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Recently, the triple harp has experienced a considerable revival as the traditional instrument of Wales, but most harpists choose to play in the modern way \u2013 with the right hand playing the treble! From historical records, we see that the triple harp was played mainly by men, but there were some excellent women harpists during the end of the 18th and first part of the 19th centuries, when the double-action harp was being developed by Erard and his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Crossing back over from Wales to France, here is another harp without pedals and a lot of strings &#8211; 78 of them, to be precise!<\/p>\n<p>In the August of 1894, F\u00e9lix Godefroid and Alphonse Hasselmans asked Gustave Lyon, Pleyel&#8217;s director at the time, to construct the sort of Erard double-action harp that had been suspended since 1855. This process would see the birth of the chromatic harp without pedals. The idea was to solve the inconvenient aspects of the double-action harp, by eliminating pedal noises and intonation problems. The result, however, was complicated. The harp consists of two rows of strings, one for white notes, one for black, crossing over in the middle of the harp. While it is true that any chromaticism is theoretically possible, equally this instrument cannot produce any particular glissandos&#8230;and it is also <del>hellishly<\/del>\u00a0rather difficult to play.<\/p>\n<p>Keen to demonstrate the possibilities of their ingenious instrument, Pleyel commissioned Debussy&#8217;s Dances for the chromatic harp. Andr\u00e9 Caplet also\u00a0composed a first version of his Conte fantastique, &#8216;L\u00e9gende&#8217; for chromatic harp and orchestra (1908). He later adapted this work for double-action harp and string quartet, in 1924.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" td-modal-image alignleft wp-image-2131 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cross-strung harp\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-300x480.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-800x1280.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-55x88.jpg 55w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant-250x400.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2015\/10\/bd-cordes-croisees-avant.jpg 875w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\" \/><\/a>The instrument continued to be taught at the Paris Conservatoire, with dedicated chromatic harp classes between 1903 &#8211; 1908, and 1912 &#8211; 1933.
