About Erin's Harps

Lyon and Healy Style 30 Concert Grand

From Lyon and Healy's Website: http://www.lyonhealy.com/pedal-style-30.htm

"A modern harp created by Lyon & Healy in 1958, the Style 30 has a stately, formal look that endures the test of time.  The sculpted vertical lines in the Hard Maple column are offset by soft arcs at the top.  Angles in the base are restrained by a curved slope and beveled edges.  The extended Sitka Spruce soundboard with single inlay edging features two subtle angles, giving the illusion of a bend and complementing the graceful design of the column.  The architectural shape of the harp creates a unique and brilliant sound.  Ornamented solid brass action plates add to the allure of this refined harp.  The Style 30 is available in mahogany, walnut, and ebony finishes and comes with a cover, tuning key and a 5-year limited warranty."

The Petite Daphne 40 String Pedal Harp is a 3/4-size double-action harp handcrafted by Salvi's Italian craftsmen of maple and spruce. Spruce is hand-selected from the tone-rich forests of Europe, the same forests from which the world's greatest violins have been produced, and solid White Maple from forests of Upper Michigan is chosen for its stability and resilience.
Designed with an elegant contemporary column and straight soundboard, the Daphne harp is capable of delicacy with a rich, deep tone. Responsible for bearing almost one and a quarter (1-1/4) tons of tension, the column is tilted against the angled pull of the strings, creating a balanced and stable triangle of column, strings, and neck. Each piece of high-quality European spruce used in Salvi soundboards, which also bear several tons of tension, is tested with an Ultrasound meter to discover the potential acoustical output for a particular piece of spruce. Salvi master craftsmen and engineers can then pinpoint the optimum location on the soundboard for that piece of spruce to produce a balanced tonal quality.
