Roosebeck 22 String Heather Harp (Upgraded Chelby Levers, Spruce Soundboard Carved Knotwork Inlay)

A favorite of beginner and student harpists for decades, The 22 string Heather Harp is Roosebeck's most popular harp. The Celtic style Heather Harp is the choice of both beginners and the serious harp students. This Heather Harp comes with upgraded Chelby levers for improved functionality. Compared to the standard Roosebeck harp levers, the Chelby levers are mechanically superior. The design allows the lever to engage the string from the side and limit the possibility of strings lifting off the bridge pin. The red and blue colored caps allow you to quickly locate the C- and F-string levers. The lever is attached to its base by a hex bolt. A synthetic washer is spaced between the lever and base, creating a smooth and controlled, lifting action that resists slipping once engaged. The base of each lever is mounted to the harp arm by two screws, should any adjustment be necessary. The bridge pins for the Chelby levers have also been improved; they can be adjusted, in or out, by simple turning with a hex wrench.

With 22 DuPont hard nylon strings, it has a range of C3-C6. It is approximately 36" high, and weighs 11 pounds. It can be played on the lap or on a table.

This Heather harp features an engraved Irish Knotwork design, inlaid Sheesham frame with a birch soundboard for exceptional sound and strength. Includes an Extra String Set & Tuning Wrench. Sale Priced with Free Shipping.
