"LOS ANGELES, CA - In anticipation for the forthcoming 2013 NAMM Show, Antiquity Music premieres the Wheelharp, a groundbreaking keyboard musical instrument that gives the player the ability to orchestrate a full chromatic scale of sixty-one (61) actual bowed strings at one's own fingertips, almost like having a real chamber string orchestra at hand.
With an exotic Victorian profile, curved keyboard, and stunning rosette appointments, the instrument's appearance is equally as breathtaking as its audible character. It utilizes a patent-pending action to translate the player's subtle fingerings into a range of bowing intensities, and comes equipped with a full damper system and an electronic pickup system, allowing individuals to sculpt astonishingly beautiful and complex sounds.
The Wheelharp is available in a Radial Model (curved keyboard) and a Linear Model (traditional straight keyboard), and in several ranges. Art case options are available upon request.
Antiquity Music will be exhibiting the Wheelharp at the NAMM Show, January 24-27, 2013, at Booth # 1280.
More information on the Wheelharp can be found at www.antiquitymusic.com or by contacting Antiquity Music at info@antiquitymusic.com."
