Older Model Dusty Strings FH 26 in Walnut with Loveland levers

Roaring Mary Reel

Here’s the Dusty Strings website’s description of the current iteration of this model.

This 26-string 3½-octave harp has a sweet and surprisingly strong voice, with the added resonance that comes from solid wood construction. The FH26 can serve as a full-voiced beginner's harp or a high-quality portable harp for the established player. A child can set the FH26 on the floor and play comfortably while seated in a small chair.
Our top-of-the-line 26-string harp, the FH26 features tasteful fine woodworking details such as a book-matched soundboard and binding and purfling around the edges.


This harp rents with a carrying case, tuning lever, and hygrometer.  It does not come with a stand, so it will need to be elevated in order to play.
