If you are thinking of taking up the clarsach then hiring an instrument is a very good way to start to see if it really is for you.  Various manufacturers make clarsachs but they are quite expensive to buy so you need to be sure it is a worthwhile investment.  Hiring an instrument is an ideal way of trying it out first.

So where do you start to look?

The Highland Branch of the Clarsach Society may be able to help.  The Highland Branch has 4 clarsachs for hire at £20.00 per month.  The hirer must be a member of the Clarsach Society and is required to pay 6 months in advance.

Two of these harps are currently available for hire!!
