The Aldeburgh Pedal Harp

The Aldeburgh is a stunning new sister harp to Pilgrim's highly acclaimed Malvern concert harp. It has the same essential features such as Pilgrim's own special bell-metal cast soundbox ribs; enhanced shape of the extended soundboard; careful use of carbon fibre technology in key areas; mechanism plates that won’t tarnish and are fitted with gold-plated discs, bridge-pins and forks. The exquisitely turned pillar and gracefully shaped pedal-box and pillar base-plate, naturally combine both a classic and contemporary style. The Aldeburgh has the full range of 47 strings, is strung with the finest gut strings to the very top and it weighs just 31 kg (69 lbs).

	Launched in 2009, this harp is Pilgrim's tribute to Benjamin Britten, one of the greatest British composers. Britten moved to Aldeburgh in 1947 and remained there until he died in 1976. During that time, he & Peter Pears co-founded the now world famous Aldeburgh Festival for which he also composed many important works.  Britten once wrote of Aldeburgh. 'I have tried to bring music to it in the shape of our local festival; and all the music I write comes from it.'  Britten wrote a number of significant compositions for the Harp. Today, several of these are among the most important in a harpist's main repertoire; especially the Ceremony of Carols and the Harp Suite.
