| FH26 by Dusty Strings |
This 26-string, 3-1/2 octave harp has a sweet and surprisingly strong voice, with the added resonance that comes from all-solid wood construction. Complete with carrying case and full sharping levers, the FH26 can serve as a full-voiced beginner’s harp or a high-quality, portable harp for the established player. Our standard price includes the optional matching leg set.
A child can set the FH26 on the floor and play comfortably while seated in a small chair. An adult seated on a typical harp bench will want to use the legs to raise the harp to a comfortable playing position.
One of our featured artists, Lois Colin, recently recorded an entire CD using just her FH26. Click Here to hear a short excerpt from her CD, or Click Here to view the Monica's Wedding CD in our on-line store.
At The Harp Connection, we normally stock the FH26 with full Loveland levers (shown) and our price includes the optional matching leg set. You can custom order an FH26 without the legs using the custom-order menu below.
