Decorative Inlay

Dress up your harp with a delicate inlaid-wood design or the colorful sparkle of abalone shell, which we carefully inlay by hand between delicate strips of multi-layered veneer called purfling. Inlay is available on the FH34, FH36H and FH36S models as an abalone strip around the edge of the soundboard, a graceful celtic knot in abalone on the front of the pillar, or a cherry blossom design inlaid in wood on the front of the pillar. This is a custom option, and it can take about 6 to 8 weeks for us to build a harp with abalone inlay, but it is well worth the wait!

Abalone Celtic Knot

This elegant Celtic knot knot was designed by a former Dusty Strings employee specifically for our harps, and adds just the right amount of tasteful sparkle to the front of the pillar.

Price: $675 (Available for models FH34, FH36H & FH36S)

Cherry Blossom

This delicate branch with full and partially-opened cherry blossoms is inlaid using contrasting wood veneers and looks gorgeous on any of our FH wood choices. It is pictured below on a bubinga harp (left) and a cherry harp (right).
