String Instruments

String instruments are known not only for producing highly varied, but also incredibly beautiful sound. And at Dark Knight Armoury, we carry a wide assortment of medieval inspired string instruments that are perfect for beginners and experts alike. With a little practice and some know-how, any musician can use these stringed instruments to produce beautiful medieval melodies. Among the more common instruments in this section is the harp, of which we carry several, in various designs and styles. Some are small and can be carried along with the musician for easy use and portability, while others get progressively larger, reaching up to grand harps that stand over three feet high (we even offer a full-sized floor harp, which stands about 51 inches high!). Iconic for their lovely, almost romantic sound, harps make for great instruments to practice and play, either at fairs, for contests, or purely for personal enjoyment and pleasure. Harps are not the only stringed instruments we offer, though, as we also carry lyres and lutes, both of which were used in antiquity and history by musicians to play melodies that were jaunty, soulful, and everything in-between. The soothing sound of strings is perfect for an inn or tavern atmosphere, as well as for a romantic evening. Plus, there is something rewarding about inspiring great emotion with your playing. So if you want to feel that rush of beauty that comes with a well-played piece, then perhaps you ought to pay a visit to Dark Knight Armoury, and maybe consider picking up one of your medieval stringed instruments? Once you play it, you won't soon forget the beauty that strings can create.
