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!
We've reached a huge milestone in the history of Dusty Strings with the completion of our 25,000th harp! This also represents an even bigger milestone: more than 45,000 instruments built since we began this crazy adventure in 1979.
We get why people ask! Not everyone lives near a Dusty Strings dealer or has a friend with one of our instruments or can visit us in person at a harp conference or our showroom in Seattle. Buying an instrument sight-unseen is nerve-wracking.
