Anatolian Harps

Handmade in Anatolia

Harps from the cradle of civilizations

Lever harps, baroque triple harps, ancient lyres and Japanese koto — each named for an ancient Anatolian city, each built one at a time in our Gölpazarı workshop.

Our story

Türkiye’s first and only harp maker

Founded by harpist and educator Zeynep Öykü together with Ali Öztürk, Anatolian Harps was born of necessity. Because there was nowhere in Türkiye to repair or maintain a harp, we began by servicing the harps used in our own teaching — and on that road we became, with pride, the country’s first and only harp maker.
