Harps are probably the most ancient stringed
instruments. Their beautiful sound and graceful
aesthetic form have magically enticed man for
centuries. And even today, that fascination lives on. Harps in Ireland and Scotland, in the form that
we now know them, were first evident in the 9th century AD. These early harps were strung with
metal strings, and the sound box was usually carved from a single log. They were a focal point of
Celtic music, reaching their greatest use between 1000 and 1750 AD. A bit later, these small harps
were strung with gut and played in the royal courts of Europe. Gradually, they evolved into the
pedal harp used today in orchestras. Celtic, lever, or folk harps have recently made a resurgence
in the music world. A wide variety of music is played on these instruments, including classical, folk,
medieval, Renaissance, popular, Celtic, and original music.
Harps are tuned diatonically: a “do re mi” scale like the piano’s white keys. The strings are colorcoded to help you find your way. C’s are red, and F’s are blue or black.
Basic Harp Information
Lever harps (also called Celtic harps, folk harps, or Irish harps) usually have sharping levers
on each string which can be used to raise the pitch of the string one-half step, making a sharp.
(See pg 15 for more info on levers.) All of the harps in our catalog are lever harps with nylon strings.
Pedal harps are the harps that you see in an orchestra. They are made out of maple wood, with
beautiful veneers or wood finishes added, and some also have gold leaf applied. They have
between 40 and 47 strings. The largest of these harps have over 6 octaves of strings, and weigh
about 85 to 90 pounds. There are 7 pedals on every pedal harp, which are moved by the harpist’s
feet; one pedal for each of the 7 notes in the scale. Three of the pedals are controlled by the left
foot, and four by the right. The pedals move discs on the neck of the harp which shorten or lengthen the sounding length of the strings, providing sharps, naturals, and flats. Each pedal has 3 positions which are held in place by notches in the base of the harp and by springs. For example, the
pedal on the far right of the harp is the “A” pedal. When this pedal is in the highest of its three notches, all the “A” strings on the harp will sound as “A-flat.” When the harpist moves this pedal into its
middle notch, the discs on each of the “A” strings engage, shortening the sounding length of all of
the “A” strings, giving them the pitch of “A-natural.” When this pedal is in the lowest notch, the string
lengths are again shortened by the discs, and all of the “A” strings will be “A-sharp.” By using the
pedals, the accomplished harpist can play very chromatic music.
PLEASE NOTE: We are no longer selling pedal harps. You can order Lyon & Healy harps directly from
www.HarpInLa.com, or call Heidi at (818) 495-4652.
TUNING YOUR LEVER HARP
Many people tune their lever harps to the key of C, and then use their sharping levers to play
in sharp keys. Another common method is to tune to flat keys. To do this, when you tune your
harp, tune down the strings you want flat by one-half-step. For example, tune all of your B
strings to B-flat (on some electronic tuners, this will register as A-sharp). Then, when you use
a sharping lever on any of these strings, the lever will raise the pitch to a natural. If you have
sharping levers on each string, and your tune to 3 flats (B-flat, E-flat and A-flat), you can play
in any key from 3 flats up to 4 sharps. For more information, watch Sylvia Woods’ video #2C:
“Tuning Your Lever Harp to C or Flat Keys” at harpcenter.com/InfoVideos
Go to www.harpcenter.com/Aedan for Aedan MacDonnell’s Levers at a Glance chart,
showing which keys you can play in various harp tunings.
14
Sharping Levers. The purpose of a sharping lever is to shorten the sounding length of a string on
a lever harp, raising the pitch one half step, allowing you to play in different keys without re-tuning.
← Loveland levers, installed on the Dusty Strings harps, have been the industry
→ Camac levers, installed on the Triplett Christina harp, are nickel-plated solid metal
and have a smooth, quiet action. Tone quality is virtually unaltered with the lever engaged,
and the sharping action maintains string alignment. C and F lever handles are clearly designated with red and blue bands, making them extremely easy to see. →
← Robinson levers are made of brass. The lever handle is flat with a rounded head.
Even though they are not as comfortable to use as the other levers, their low cost makes
them a good addition to harps like Sharpsicles to help keep down the price of the harp.

Dusty Strings FH34 Harp
Dusty Strings FH26 Harp
The FH34, Dusty Strings' compact 4¾ octave, all
solid-wood harp delivers brightness, depth & clarity,
and has a great playing range. This harp will satisfy
both the professional & beginner with its resonance
and power, and will please the most discerning eye
with a tasteful display of fine woodworking. This harp
is the same overall size as its well-loved 32-string
predecessor, but now goes down to the low C in the
bass. For playing comfort, Dusty Strings added
facets on the upper corners of the back. This
“hybrid-stave” design provides the ergonomic benefits of their popular 36-string stave-back harp at a
portion of the cost. To keep the carrying size down,
the FH34 includes an innovative stand that has
removable feet and nestles into the base of the harp,
attaching in seconds with the twist of a knob and
without needing to turn the harp upside down.
This 26-string, 3½ octave harp has a
sweet and surprisingly strong voice, with
the added resonance that comes from all
solid-wood construction. Complete with
carrying case, legs and full sharping
levers, the FH26 can serve as a fullvoiced beginner’s harp or a high-quality,
portable harp for the established player.
A child can set the FH26 on the floor and
play comfortably while seated in a small
chair. An adult seated in a standard
height chair will use the included leg set
to raise the harp to a comfortable playing
position.

HARPS
The Allegro 26 and Crescendo 34 have laminated Finland birch soundboards, with backs, sides,
necks, and pillars of solid sapele, which is very similar to mahogany. The addition of solid sides
and back gives these harps more resonance and clarity when compared to the all-laminated
soundbox of the Ravenna series. The Allegro has a square back, and the Crescendo 34 has a
faceted hybrid-stave back. (See page 17 for a photo of a hybrid-stave back.)
D us ty Str i n g s : R a v e n n a M o dels
There are two Ravenna models by Dusty Strings: a 26-string with 1 octave
below middle C (shown on right), and a 34-string with 2 octaves below middle C (shown below). The Ravenna harps are perfect for the discriminating
and budget-minded beginner, traveler, teacher, or student. They fill many
needs with their affordability, reliability, portability, and most importantly
their rich and satisfying sound. The stave-back soundbox and the unique
drop-down playing leg make for great playing comfort and versatility. These
harps are crafted with a solid ash neck and pillar, laminated birch soundbox with ash-grained vinyl veneer, and a laminated birch soundboard.
Dusty Strings’ characteristic bright, full sound, tuning stability, even tension
across the strings, and meticulous craftsmanship make the Ravenna harps
a great value. Full sets of Loveland sharping levers are optional on the
Ravennas. All the lever holes are pre-drilled, making it easy to add levers
at a later date. Ravenna harps have a 2-year warranty.
An extremely innovative and useful feature of these remarkable harps is
the built-in leg, which drops smoothly into place for convenient and adjustable playing support. The harp can be quickly and easily adjusted to
your correct playing height, without the hassle of additional legs or stools. The leg
easily slides out of the way, back inside the harp, when not in use. The optional long
leg for the Ravenna 26 offers an additional 12" of height to allow comfortable and
stable stand-up playing for teaching, performing, or bedside work. You can order the
long leg at any time and install it yourself ($65), or
order your harp to come with the long leg installed

Christina Therapy Harp by Triplett Harps
Triplett Harps has been designing & building high-quality instruments
since 1980. Their harps are designed with consideration for tonal
excellence, graceful lines, and fine workmanship.
The Christina Harp was designed as a therapy harp, and this little
gem is also a great small harp for the beginner to advanced harpist.
It has a light string tension with 25 strings ranging from C below middle C up to F. The strategically placed quick release strap buttons
enable the harp to be easily supported while playing, whether you are
sitting or standing.
Each string eyelet is decorated with a
wood burned Celtic knot design, and
the neck has a beautiful Celtic cross
inlay. Engraved roses are optional at
$100. (See photo below.)
The Christina has a laminate Baltic
birch soundboard, and is available in
several woods. Cherry and walnut are
the lightest in weight. Maple is heavier,
and bubinga will be the heaviest, making the harp weigh about 9 pounds with full levers. The Christina harp
comes with a 7-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
The foldable, easy-to-use case has a heavy cordura exterior with a dense, synthetic fleece interior.
The tuning pin area is protected with naugahyde lining and the zipper has an inside flap. There
are 3 sets of handles and a zippered pocket. Backpack straps may be added when ordered for $25.
The harp comes in cherry, walnut, maple or bubinga, and
includes a full set of Camac levers, case, lap bar, and strap.
25 nylon strings. 31/2 octaves. C up to F.

we’ve found! Available in walnut,

the same woods as the harp, with Triplett's insignia engraved on the side.

Snark Electronic Tuner
Tuning Pick-Up
This bright red Snark SN-2 is a
very cool tuner that clips directly to
your harp, so you don’t need an
extra clip pick-up! The jaws of the
spring-loaded clip open wide, over
1", so it will clip almost anywhere,
including the back of a pedal harp.
The bright colors on the LED display make it very easy to see, even in dark environments. The head of the tuner swivels 360º, so it
easily adjusts to the perfect viewing angle. In our
tests, the Snark tuned all the strings of a pedal
harp. Battery included. We LOVE the Snark!
Your electronic tuner
(except the Snark) will
work better with a pick-up that clips directly
onto your harp. Your harp then is isolated
from nearby sound, allowing easy tuning,
even during orchestral warm-ups! Our Korg
pick-up will plug into any standard electronic tuner (such as the Korg tuners below). It
opens wide enough to clip to the sound
hole in the back of any harp. The 65" cord
gives you ample room to position your
tuner. (This clip will not work to amplify a

Fishman Pick-Up and Pre-Amps
Pick-up: The Fishman harp transducer is a "stick-on" pick-up that preserves the
natural, acoustic, tonal character of the harp. The pick-up (shown at the top of the
photo) and the cable connection jack (shown at the bottom) mount easily on the
inside of the soundbox with double-sided tape (included), for semi-permanent installation. You will
need to purchase an instrument cable (see pg. 25) to connect the pick-up to your amp or pre-amp.
Pre-Amps: Using a pre-amp along with your pick-up will usually make your harp
sound better, and give you volume and tone control at your fingertips. Our pre-amp,
designed for acoustic instruments, is perfect for most harp players. It is powered by
a 9 volt battery, and you will need 2 instrument cables (page 25) to connect the preamp to your pick-up and amp. Save $30 with the set.

Custom made in red & blue (or
black), like the C and F strings, these
small rubber rings are designed to slip
onto the tuning pins or Loveland lever handles.
When used on the tuning pins (shown
above), they give you a color cue on that side
of the harp to assist you when tuning. If you
ever have trouble figuring out “which pin is
which” when tuning, you’ll LOVE these rings!
When used on sharping levers
they provide a quick visual reference, which can be a life-saver in
low light situations or when quick
lever flips are needed. The rings
position well on Loveland levers.
They also fit on Robinson and
Truitt levers, but they slide up and
down the shaft as you raise and
lower those levers.
Each pack has 14 rings. Most lever harpists like
the red and blue set. Pedal harpists prefer the
red and black rings for their tuning pins. Those
who want a more subtle, but effective, tactile
cue, like the all-black set. Many customers buy
2 sets for each of their harps: one for their
levers, and another for their tuning pins.

Accidental Rings. Do you have trouble seeing (or remembering!) the sharping levers you
need to engage in the middle of a piece? If so,
you'll love our white and yellow Accidental
Rings. Just slip these rings on the
appropriate levers before you begin
a piece to give you a visual
reminder of which ones you’ll need
to change. They are slightly larger
in diameter than our other rings, so
you can easily install and remove
them between pieces. You can
even put them on a lever that
already has a red, blue, or black ring! (See
photo.) Designed for Loveland levers, they will
also work on Truitt and Robinson levers,
although the rings tend to slide up and down
the shaft as you raise and lower these levers.
They also work with Camac levers. Each pack
has 10 rings: 5 white and 5 bright yellow.

Kart-a-Bag Harp Cart
This collapsible dolly is
perfect for hauling your
lever harp around. We
don’t suggest this for
your pedal harp (or for
very large, heavy lever
harps such as the Prelude
or Troubadour), but this compact dolly will make moving
your lever harp easier. Weighing
only 16 pounds, the Kart-a-Bag
is a lightweight and easy-to-use
dolly which can carry up to a
300-pound load. 48" in height
with an almost 16" x 13" base, it comes with 2
attached bungee cords to help secure your
harp. It is constructed of heavy duty aluminum
rods and double thick chrome plated steel wire,
hand welded for extraordinary
strength. Solidly built, the Kart-aBag’s telescoping handles can
easily and quickly fold the dolly
down to 16" x 21" x 8". An added
great feature of this wonderful
cart is the rear platform. With two
3" swivel casters, the back platform folds down into a locked
position to function as a 4-wheel
dolly for added stability, as shown
above with a Dusty Strings FH36
Harp. (Harp case not included.)
Our carts are custom-fitted with
an extended handle with two rubber bike-type grips for comfort &
easy maneuverability. Made in the USA with a
10-year limited warranty against manufacturing
defects. We cannot gift wrap this cart. Sylvia

Harp & Handbells Music by Sylvia Woods
As a member of her church handbell choir, Sylvia Woods began arranging music
for lever (or pedal) harp and handbells. These wonderful arrangements beautifully showcase the harp with bells. As with all handbell music, you will need to
buy copies for each handbell choir member, the director, and the harpist.

Angelical Hymn and 12th Night Song
For 3-4 octave handbells and harp. This is

advanced beginner to intermediate harpists, and
level 2 bell choir. Key of E minor. 10 pages.
For 4 octave handbells and harp, with
optional 2 octaves of handchimes. This is
based on Sylvia Woods’ festive solo harp
arrangement from 2 Christmas Medleys (see

includes the G that is 10 strings below middle
C. For intermediate harp players, and level 3
bell choir. 7 pages, in the key of G.

#5209s Gecko Tails Book and CD $12.95
Sylvia has used this humorous song as
an encore at the end of her concerts
ever since she wrote it in 1982. The silly
chorus “Harpers are not bizarre. . . doot,
doot, doot, doot” is easy for audiences to
learn and sing along. The verses talk
about harpies, Harpo, harpists, harpers,
and fun things you can do with your harp
(such as “cut up cheese!”) At the end of
the last verse, you'll shoot a rubbertipped arrow off of one of your harp
strings! Watch a concert video of Sylvia
performing this piece on this product’s

A Christmas Canon
“With A Friend” Books
This medley intertwines Pachelbel’s Canon
with The First Noel. Arranged by Janet
Jackson Witman for 2 (or more) advanced
beginner to intermediate players, it is in the
key of D, with no lever changes. Each part
is printed individually, and two copies of
each of the two parts are included.
These books by Patricia Jaeger are a real treat for
advanced beginners or intermediate harp players
and their “friends.” All you need are a harp and
melody instrument (flute, violin, recorder, etc.), but
additional instruments add to the fun! The harp
plays the accompaniment, and there are parts for 2
melody instruments, as well as viola and cello.
Each volume has a spiral-bound harp book with 4
booklets for the other instruments. Keys are from 3
flats through 3 sharps with some harp fingerings.
#7459b Christmas Canon $9.95

These books of traditional Celtic music are
very popular with harp circles & ensembles.

ensembles. Each player will need to have
their own book. About 100 pages each.
