“Just right!” is what many people say about the Jolie Harp. h The height, balance, tone, and overall feel of the instrument is captivating. Gorgeous cherry wood grain and clean

design elements make it a winner in our lineup. e

This design features new joint engineering where the neck meets the pillar and body to give the best tuning stability and J harp longevity. If you build this harp from our kit, you’ll especially o appreciate the close fit of the parts and ease of assembly. l If you purchase the finished harp, we will install a full set of top quality i

sharping levers and provide a nicely e padded gig bag for carrying the harp out of the house. The finish we apply is

a handsome clear lacquer coating that enhances the natural color of the cherrywood. H Range: C2 to F6 Strings 32 4'4"

Designed as an entry-level p floor harp, the Belle Harp excels over comparably priced r harps. Great sound, rigid stability, and clean lines make this a beauty, and we have a not skimped on the fine quality cherry wood to give it a touch of elegance. It is easily portable too, at just 17 pounds. H

Our new pre-cut joints at the front and back of the neck take the guesswork out of fitting and fasten- ing the parts together. Builders will enjoy the quick, simplified assembly e of this instrument. Shown without sharping levers, but you can add

ll them any time after the harp is finished and strung. You can install just a few levers to give you the most common key changes, e or add a full set of 30 (one for each string).
