A closer look

Timber. Strings. The maker’s touch.

Crafted by hand.

From shaping the curved neck to fitting the levers, each Bell Bird is cut, bent, strung and voiced in our Osborne Park workshop.

Our workshop. Your harp.

Made here.
Looked after here.

All our lever harps designed and built in Perth, a few at a time, by hand and by the people who will still be looking after them in 20 years.

Our harpmaker, George Lyall, builds each Sanderson in Osborne Park. Regulation, restringing and repairs return to the same workshop, with John’s CNC expertise on hand when a part needs making.
