Click here to view harp design options. David, as a young shepherd, wandered the
fields around Bethlehem, playing his harp. Sensing the
closeness of G-d, David's music communicated the meditations
of his heart to the Creator of all. During his eventful lifetime, David composed many psalms, singing the praises of G-d. No matter how perilous his circumstances,
he never lost faith. His psalms are a rock of inspiration to
all of us. Though he was wandering alone, word of his special harp playing became known far and wide. Eventually, it reached the ears of the servants of King Saul. Saul was an ailing soul ~ an evil spirit
came ot trouble him day and night. It was then that young
David was called to play the harp to soothe Saul's soul and
bring the King some measure of comfort and healing. The remarkable healing effect of the harp
was known to people 3000 years ago. Without data from
scientific research, they intuitively understood the
relationship between the music of the harp, and the healing
of the body and mind. Recent medical studies have confirmed that the sweet and pure sounds of this ancient harp can beneficially effect the process of healing. Harp music in general, and the Kinnor David specifically, promotes a restoration of the connection between the body, mind and soul ~ it is a bridge between heaven and earth... "And David took a harp and played..." ( Samuel 1 16:23) *****
The Kinnor David we build is created to be a personal, meditative instrument. It's structure and basic designs are known from ancient coins, Biblical descriptions and Talmudic information. This type of harp is known and was played in the time of King David and in the First & Second Temples of Israel The Kinnor David is created from beautiful woods with decorative hand-carved palm and olive branches, and in the center a star of David ( Magen David).
It is also possible to interchange the center design with a Menorah or any design you choose in wood, silver, brass, precious stones, gold or Mother of Pearl. David's Harp has ten strings, tuned in a Hebraic mode that traces its origin back to ancient Israel. Traditional Jewish music as well as original compositions can easily be played on it. Various art and inlay work possibilities and carrying case are also available. With the harp comes an instruction booklet, tuning key and cassette, including easy to learn traditional Hebrew songs. The Kinnor dimensions are approximately 65 cm high ( 26 inches) and 33 cm wide (13 inches). It comes with a detachable stand. This harp has one and a half octaves, and the strings are made of nylon.
