Harps by Aoyama
Jitaroh Aoyama founded the Aoyama Musical Instrument Company in 1897. His descendent, Masao Aoyama, had a great love of the harp and once he assumed control of the business, began to produce the first range of Aoyama lever harps.
Kenzo Aoyama, the present director of the company began the production of grand concert harps and brought the family company world wide recognition as one of the few international harp makers. In 1992 the new Aoyama harp factory was completed, including a concert hall and a museum of antique harps. The family ethos of "be honest and do your work" combined with fine dedicated craftsmen in the factory, enable new harps to be produced in harmony with both tradition and new techniques. The experience of making musical instruments for over a century, combined with a close association with musicians, has kept Aoyama in the forefront of musical technology: a position which it intends to retain into the twenty-first century.
