Padded Harp Bag
For those who plan to take their harps out and about our Rees padded harp bags are the perfect solution. The bags feature a long, adjustable padded strap, for carrying the harp on your shoulder, as well as double handles for hand carrying. Additional handles at the foot, point and on the pocket side make loading the harp into your car considerably easier. There is also a large zippered pocket to accommodate your chromatic tuner, tuning wrench and other gig supplies. Extra padding inside the bag protects the wood of the harp pillar from the zipper of the bag. These truly top quality bags are handmade in America.
We should note that we do not consider these bags to be sufficient protection for a harp to be checked as luggage aboard an airplane.
Extra Tuning Wrench
All Rees Concert Line Lever Harps come with a tuning wrench but just in case you loose one it's always good to have an extra wrench available. We all know how socks can mysteriously go missing in the laundry, well tuning wrenches are also very susceptible to being sucked into the land of misplaced things. Be prepared, keep an extra handy (and, perhaps, tied down to prevent escape.)
The #5 Rees Tuning Wrench fits the following Rees Harp models: Aberdeen, Mariposa, Shaylee, Glen Aulin, Corlieu and the double harp versions*.
The #4 tuning Tuning Wrench fits the following Rees Harp models: Morgan Meghan
The Standard Tuning Wrench fits the Double Morgan Meghan Harp
*William built a few Shaylee Double Harp models that did not use the #5 tuning wrench. If your Double Shaylee Harp just so happens to have nickel plated (silver colored) pins rather than the black oxide pins then your harp will require the Standard Tuning Wrench.

911-Harp - Harp Care Basics
Because Murphy’s Law is real, every harper should be prepared for the day when something goes wrong. For instance:
a child throws an egg salad sandwich at the soundboard of your harp (this really happened to us!)
a string breaks 15 minutes before the concert for which you have been practicing for the last six months
wind blows your harp over an hour before a wedding gig and one of your sharping levers is damaged
one day a string begins to buzz against a lever totally out of the blue
a mocha latte and your harp suddenly become intimately involved
…In short, life happens and advance preparation makes all the difference. The Rees 911-HARP Kit is your insurance against Murphy.
The basic 911-HARP Kit includes:
a complete extra set of strings
a retractable duster to clean between pins & strings on the arch
a bottle of Harpo “No More Marks” Cleaning Spray
a micro fiber towel to use for cleaning
eyelets of appropriate sizes
two Rees levers
lever tools
a T6 Torx wrench (for lever fulcrum screw black)
a Phillips screwdriver (for lever base screws)
3/16” hex driver (for larger bridge pins, used for adjusting regulation)
a 4mm hex driver (for threaded bridge pins, used for adjusting regulation)
instructions for how to regulate or change a lever
instructions for how to clean your harp
PLUS a durable nylon, high visibility bag (so you can find it quickly) with the Rees Harps and Harpsicle® Harps logo on the front.
