The FH34, Dusty Strings' compact 4¾-octave, solid wood harp delivers brightness, depth and clarity, and has a great playing range. This harp will satisfy both the professional and the beginner with its resonance and power, and will please the most discerning eye with a tasteful display of fine woodworking.
For playing comfort, facets are added on the upper corners of the back. This "hybrid staveback" design provides the ergonomic benefits of Dusty Strings popular staveback harps at a portion of the cost.
To keep the carrying size down, the FH34 includes an innovative stand that has four removable 5-inch legs and nestles into the base of the harp, attaching in seconds with the twist of a knob and without needing to turn the harp upside down. The harp can also sit on the ground without the stand for those who like a lower height, and the stand can accept 8-inch legs for those who prefer their harp a bit higher.
