Photomontage featuring images of the Ardival Harp shop, harp makers, grounds and family of Ardival musicians including Bill Taylor. Ardival Harps are hand made historical harps strung with gut or wire and are considered to be some of the best harps made. Contact information on how to have a harp made just for you is located at the end of the video. Ardival also hosts 'Harp Weekends and Holidays' and is the only way to truly experience Highland Hospitality and intensive instruction with resident artist, Bill Taylor. Ardival Harps is a family owned company located near the small Victorian village of Strathpeffer, Scotland... WNW of Inverness and on the grounds of an actual private castle. The timber is from Highland farms and estates and properly dried and milled. The harps themselves are exquisitely made in the tradition of the old harp makers. There really are no finer authentically crafted Gothic harps, harps and Clarsachs made.
