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.
