Description
The Dusty Strings FH36S harp has what we feel is the ideal range for a full size lever harp: five octaves, starting and ending on C. It surrounds the player with a round, full-bodied and well articulated sound. The depth, power and responsiveness of the FH36S make playing seem effortless. It’s a beautiful piece of fine woodworking and a satisfying investment for any harp enthusiast.
The sides and back of the soundbox consist of five facets of book-matched hardwood. This stave back design puts a flat facet, rather than a corner against the player’s shoulder. This is more comfortable for some and makes it easier to reach the lower strings. This soundbox shape, as opposed to the rectangular soundbox of the FH36H, gives a subtly rounder sound and a slightly fuller bass voice.
