Notice: Though we always have and will continue to build our instruments in Seattle, WA, USA, most of our materials are specialized and must be imported. We regret that due to the impact of the higher tariffs we're paying now, we had to raise our instrument prices on August 15th.

Harps

Welcome to the world of Dusty Strings harps! We are builders of lever harps (also commonly called folk or Celtic harps) and have been lovingly handcrafting our instruments in Seattle, WA since 1979. We invite you to browse to your heart's content, and if at any point you would prefer to talk to a person, feel free to give us a call! We won't bombard you with pushy sales tactics, and we would love to answer any questions you might have (or help you figure out what questions to ask).

  • Our lightest-weight 34-string harp
  • Solid wood tone and resonance
  • Comfortably narrow at the top of the soundbox

This decked-out beauty has seen the world! Or, at least, it's been all the way to New Jersey to be played and admired and performed on at the Somerset Folk Harp Festival. It is now back in its birthplace of Seattle, Washington, awaiting its forever home. With lots of playing time on it already, the sound has really opened up, with the rich warm tone of the walnut wood underlying the shimmery sparkle that's characteristic of Dusty Strings harps.

The black lacquer allows the natural texture and grain of the walnut to be seen and admired. The colorful abalone around the edges of the curly maple soundboard sparkles when it catches the light. And the installed pickup means this harp is ready for anything!

Includes full set of Camac sharping levers, detachable stand with four legs, Dusty Harp Pickup, deluxe zippered case, custom tuning wrench
