Approximately 36" high. Featuring 22 DuPont hard nylon strings,
3 Octave
Range = C below middle C to 2 octaves above middle C,
22 sharpening levers, engraved and inlaid rosewood frame and a mahogany
plywood soundboard for exceptional sound and strength.
Our rosewood is aged at
least 2 years prior to use. There is a one-year warranty on the frame and 5
years on the soundboard. New harps normally need to be tuned several times
before they are functional. The more they are tuned and the older they are,
the brighter the sound becomes.
This comes with a tuning tool, extra set of strings, a padded nylon case which
retails for $40 and 2 books as shown below. Let me know if you do not want the
Christmas book and I can replace it with a different book.
