New FH34 stand in 5-inch and 8-inch height

The FH34 has gotten a minor makeover! The original design for the removable stand with two pairs of carved feet was gorgeous, and the whole thing fit together like a clever jigsaw puzzle. However, there were some limitations, including a single fixed height and the difficulty of operating the four small thumbscrews that attached the feet to the stand plate. Over the years we've received enough feedback from FH34 players to prompt us to change the design.

Going forward, the FH34 stand will have four tapered legs in the same style as as the FH34S.

The benefits of this new design include:

  • Height adjustable: The new stand has a choice of 5-inch or 8-inch legs so it's easier for the harp to fit the player.
  • Easy to assemble: The new stand has turned, tapered legs that are easy to attach and remove by screwing them in or out with your hands.
  • Reversible: The new stand can be oriented either way around, whereas the old stand had a correct orientation and a backwards orientation that could be confusing.
  • Backwards compatible: The new stand should fit on older FH34 models, providing the option of the taller legs and easier attachment for anyone who wants to retrofit their harp.

User feedback is the best way we learn what works and doesn't work, and it's the main driving force behind design changes and new products. As a small company, it can take us some time to work through the wishlist, and we'll never be able to do everything, but we're always interested in hearing what features the players of our instruments are looking for!
