Fischer Harfen (Harfenbau Fischer) builds handmade harps in Traunstein, including lever harps (Mod. 80, Mod. 2000, G-models), school harps (Mod. 10), Irish harps and lap harps. Its strings come from in-house string spinning, and soundboards are made from spruce. The company also offers harp repair and maintenance, harp transport systems (Harpo and Transharp), and concert and Irish harps by Dusty Strings, Lyon & Healy and Salvi.

Customers are harp players and buyers of instruments, strings and accessories. Sales and advice are run together with Musikhaus Fackler, a music retailer that the website is linked with, which also operates a used-harp market and a harp string shop.

The workshop was founded through Karl Fischer sen., who began building harps and developed seven new models; the company reports 3500 harps sold over 40 years to the alpine region, 10 European countries, the USA, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Since 2017 the workshop has been led by Thomas Fischer, a harp and piano maker. The team also includes sales and workshop staff.

Product: Handmade lever, Irish, school and lap harps, plus harp repair, transport systems, strings and used instruments.
