About the Harps

I have multiple harps from which you may choose, based the style or appearance you prefer, the type of music you would like me to play, and availability of electricity/logistical considerations. All of my harps were built in the United States.

Venus Penti Pedal Harp

This harp has a modern design and a matte ebony finish. All music on the repertoire list can be played on this harp. Made by W&W Musical Instrument Company in Chicago, this harp is nearly six feet tall and has 46 strings. It was built in 2007.  This is the harp on which I most frequently perform and use for recital, orchestral, and chamber music performances.

Venus Encore Pedal Harp

A 46-string pedal harp made by W&W Musical Instrument Company in Chicago, this harp is just over six feet tall. It has a natural maple finish with gold accents. All music on the repertoire list can be played on this harp.

Heartland Infinity Carbon-Fiber Lever Harp

This harp was built in North Carolina in 2022 by Dave Woodward, and can go anywhere! Because it is made of carbon fiber instead of wood, it isn't affected by the weather, temperature, or humidity. Its beautiful gold color fits in perfectly with any venue and color scheme, and it has a built-in pick-up for amplification.

I use this harp for beach weddings, for outdoor weddings when the weather precludes using a wood harp, and for destination weddings that require a flight or have difficult access (pedal harps require being pushed in a cart; this harp can be carried).

Lyon & Healy Troubadour Lever Harp

This harp was built in Chicago, Illinois, has a matte ebony finish, 36 strings, and stands approximately 5 and 1/2 feet tall. All music marked with a "+" on the repertoire list can be performed on this harp. 

BlevinSong 36 Lever Harp

This harp is the most portable of all the instruments, and is used for providing music at beach weddings or other venues that are difficult to access with the larger harps.  All music marked with a "+" on the repertoire list can be performed on this harp. 

It has 36 strings and was built by Dwight Blevins in Colorado.   Standing about 4 and 1/2 feet tall, it has a natural maple finish and the appearance of a traditional Celtic / Irish harp.

 

Lyon & Healy Silhouette Electric Harp

The ultimate modern harp, this silver, 33-string Lyon & Healy Silhouette can be played in place with the harp on a stand, or on a specially-designed strap allowing me to move around your venue and among your guests while playing.  Perfect for when you want something entirely unexpected!

All music on the repertoire list marked with a "+" can be played on this harp. This harp is fully electric with wired or wireless amplification; a reliable power source must be available at your venue.  This harp can fly anywhere in the world for destination weddings.

Laurel Leaf Lever Harp

Built by Bill Webster in Warren, Michigan, it can be used for any wedding, reception, party, church service, or funeral. All music on the repertoire marked with a "+" can be performed on this instrument. It stands 5 and 3/4 feet tall, and has 40 strings, and was built to my specifications in 2008. It has a matte ebony finish, and the column is wrapped in laurel leaves that are plated in 22k gold. (Currently out on rental.)
