Posca pen

String marker pen. Here at the Emporium we disapprove of colouring one's strings red and blue like on a pedal harp, but there are times when one really needs to put a bit of colour on the strings - when your pedal harpist friend wants to borrow your harp for example! These amazing 'Uni POSCA PC-5M' water-based marker pens put a really bright blue or red colour onto metal wire strings. When you have finished and no longer need coloured strings the colour comes right off with a damp cloth. Available in pairs, one each red and blue. As used by the Historical Harp Society of Ireland for student harps at Scoil na gCláirseach.
£5 a pair +
