Brilliant!™ Harpsicle® Harp

When we first started building harps, in 1972, players expected 36 strings and big harps. The harps were heavy too. In the mid-1990s William Rees, our master luthier, was one of only a handful of builders who began thinking about lighter, truly portable harps. All of the harps in our Rees Concert Harps line reflect this aesthetic. But we wanted to go even further so in 2003, William introduced the Harpsicle® Harp to the world...and things went crazy. Suddenly everyone wanted ultra-light weight, highly portable harps. Which brings us to the Brilliant!™ Harpsicle® Harp.

The Brilliant!™ harp boasts a powerful and resonant voice with a lightweight solid wood construction. Weighing approximately 16-17 lbs in walnut or cherry and 18 lbs in maple. For us, there’s simply no match for the warm, resonant beauty that is uniquely produced by a wood harp. The Brilliant features a poplar core soundboard overlaid with a maple veneer (the same signature soundboard material used in our Rees Concert Line Harps). Furthermore, a hollow column contributes to its lightweight design.

The Brilliant!™ comes complete with a full set of Rees levers, and a built-in L.R. Baggs active pickup system makeing this harp a very versatile instrument suitable for players of all skill levels, from aspiring beginners to seasoned professionals.
