Welcome to Dusty Strings! We are a small, family-owned business in Seattle, Washington. Since 1979, we have been following our dream of building harps and hammered dulcimers and helping others to fulfill their dreams of making music. Over the years, we've earned a reputation for caring about our instruments and the people who play them, and this shows itself both in the quality of our craftsmanship and the quality of our customer interactions. If you have any questions about our instruments or if you don't even know what questions to ask, we encourage you to give us a call. There will always be a friendly voice on the other end of the telephone!
Regulation is one of those words you hear a lot in the harp community. In many ways, it's become synonymous with a general health checkup, but it's a bit more specific than that. If you've ever wondered exactly what regulation is and how to tell if your lever harp needs it, you're not alone!
