Camac Janet Walnut Lever Harp

Camac Janet Natural Walnut — Irish-Style 34-String Lever Harp

The Camac Janet is an Irish-inspired concert lever harp developed around the playing traditions associated with harper Janet Harbison. Its narrower string spacing and lighter tension are intended to suit a nimble traditional playing approach, but the right string feel depends on the individual harpist. This listing is for the natural walnut finish.

Range, strings and playing feel

Camac specifies 34 strings from 1A to 6C (A1–C34), with Camac Celtic nylon strings over A1–D26 and Galli lever wires in the upper register. The maker describes narrower spacing and lighter tension compared with some other concert lever models. Players should consider how that feels for ornaments, chord shapes and their usual repertoire rather than assuming it is universally easier.

Construction, size and transport

The Janet has a walnut body and spruce soundboard. It measures 130 cm high and weighs approximately 11 kg. This makes it smaller than the 38-string Concert Mélusine, but the published weight excludes any protective case. Plan for seating, safe lifting, transport protection and avoiding extreme heat or rapid humidity changes in the UAE.

Janet versus Aziliz and Concert Mélusine

The Camac Aziliz also offers 34 strings, but uses Alliance fluorocarbon stringing and can be 118 cm or 127 cm high depending on its legs. The Concert Mélusine provides a wider 38-string range and Camac Celtic nylon. Choose based on your repertoire, string feel, preferred seating position and space—not on a claim that one model is automatically better.
