Apart from the celtic and concert harps, both of which she plays excellently, Angharad has made a speciality of the triple harp from a very early age.

A triple harp is so called because it has 3 rows of strings, the two outer rows of which are tuned diatonically in unison, whilst the inner row is tuned chromatically. The number of strings usually varies between 75 and 100. The first sight of one usually results in "Oh wow, how do manage to play that with all those strings!!!"

It was as a twelve-year-old virtuoso on this difficult and special instrument that she stunned the audience at the Rhymney National Eisteddfod, winning first prize against the most experienced Welsh harpists. A triple harp had not been seen on the Eisteddfod stage for some seventy years, and Angharad created a sensation.

Angharad has played the Handel Concerto on the original instrument, the triple harp, in two prestigious concerts, firstly with Peter Holman and secondly with the Welsh Sinfonia.

In her penultimate year at school, Angharad took time out with her triple harp to undertake a country-wide promotional tour with the well-known singer Siwsann George and subsequently she has been invited as a soloist in the folk festivals of the Artic Circle and in 2004, in Lorient.

The harp Angharad plays is a modern 'perpendicular' triple harp built by John Weston Thomas (1921 - 1992), and called 'Gwaun', being so named after the stream that ran close to his home.

The most typical effect obtainable on the triple harp is that of 'bells', hence the title of her debut CD, "Carillon", released in 2004. It has been the subject of great acclaim and rave reviews, having been broadcast widely, including four BBC radio stations and American radio.
