Rees Fullsicle

About the Rees Fullsicle

Most small lap harps in the Sicle family are tuned diatonically with levers on only some strings, but the Fullsicle equips all 26 strings with individual sharping levers, giving a player full chromatic access across the entire range - the ability to play in any key or modulate mid-piece without needing to stop and retune individual strings. This makes it considerably more flexible than its simpler siblings for players wanting to explore music beyond a single diatonic scale.

Built small enough to rest across a player's lap rather than requiring a floor-standing frame, the Fullsicle is aimed at therapy harp use, travel, and players wanting genuine chromatic capability in an instrument far more portable and affordable than a full pedal or lever concert harp - a real trade-off of range and volume for portability and full harmonic flexibility within that smaller scope.

Sound character of the Rees Fullsicle

As a small lap harp, the Fullsicle has short string lengths and a compact soundbox, which naturally favors a bright, light upper register over deep bass resonance - typical of lap harps versus full concert instruments. Because every string carries its own sharping lever, players get full chromatic flexibility without changing the underlying timbre of the instrument itself.
