​Dusty Strings, 
FH36S Bubinga
SOLD

Picture
Serial #10327
​Pre-owned 36-string lever harp. 

Built in 2007.
​
​"The FH36S 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, and its generous depth, power and responsiveness 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 staveback design puts a flat facet, rather than a corner, against the player's shoulder, which some find more comfortable and which 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 with a slightly fuller bass voice."

- Dusty Strings website

The previous owner of this beautiful top-of-the-line Dusty Strings harp took meticulous care of the instrument, and it is in pristine structural and cosmetic condition! The special bubinga wood gives this harp a lush, rich exceptional sound. The harp comes with the deluxe DS carrying case, custom tuning key, and a full set of extra strings ($230+ value). A music stand and bench are also included, if desired.
