The FH36 has what we feel is the ideal range for a full-size lever harp: five octaves, starting and ending on C. It surrounds the player with a round, full-bodied, and well articulated sound, and its generous depth, power, and responsiveness make playing seem effortless. An impressive piece of fine woodworking and a satisfying investment for any harp enthusiast.

The FH36 is available in two models - the FH36S "stave-back" model, and the FH36H "hybrid stave-back" model. The sides and back of the fully-staved soundbox consist of five facets of book-matched wood. This design puts a flat facet, rather than a corner, against the player's shoulder, which some find more comfortable and which makes it easier to reach the lower strings. This soundbox shape gives an overall rounder sound, with a slightly fuller bass voice. The hybrid-stave model achieves a similar effect with a single facet at somewhat less cost.

The FH36 comes with a deluxe, thickly padded, form-fitting CH36 case made with 1/2-inch thick foam sandwiched between a soft inner lining and a tough outer covering of waterproofed cordura. Case includes zipper access, large accessory pocket, long-lasting leather trim and handles, extra grips for easy handling, and detachable shoulder strap.
