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.

Overview

This 26-string 3½-octave harp has a sweet and surprisingly strong voice, with the added resonance that comes from solid wood construction. The FH26 can serve as a full-voiced beginner's harp or a high-quality portable harp for the established player. A child can set the FH26 on the floor and play comfortably while seated in a small chair.

Our top-of-the-line 26-string harp, the FH26 features tasteful fine woodworking details such as a book-matched soundboard and binding and purfling around the edges. It comes complete with a deluxe CD26 case, a full set of Loveland sharping levers (Camac levers are optional), a custom tuning wrench and four beautifully shaped and removable matching legs.

Please note that your harp will not look exactly like the photos you see here. Because wood is a natural material, and the color and grain vary from tree to tree, each harp we build is unique. We make an effort to keep the photos up to date as far as general design goes, but videos could show slightly older versions.

All Dusty Strings harps and hammered dulcimers are made in our workshop in Seattle, WA, USA.
