Lyon & Healy Style 85 Concert Grand Pedal Harp
Overview
The Lyon & Healy Style 85 Concert Grand is one of the world's most revered pedal harps, a flagship instrument that has graced the stages of major symphony orchestras for over a century. Standing at 47 strings and approximately six feet tall, it produces a magnificent, resonant tone with exceptional dynamic range " from the most delicate pianissimo to commanding fortissimo passages that project through an entire concert hall. The Sitka spruce soundboard and hard maple body are crafted with meticulous precision, and the extended soundboard design provides enhanced bass response and a rich, full low register. The action mechanism is remarkably smooth and reliable, with the seven pedals operating cleanly through all positions to provide access to every key. The gold leaf ornamentation on the column is not merely decorative but reflects a commitment to artistry that extends through every component of the instrument. This harp is designed for professional orchestral musicians, advanced conservatory students, and serious soloists who require an instrument capable of the highest level of musical expression. The substantial investment required puts this instrument beyond the reach of most students, and the weight of approximately 80 pounds demands careful consideration of transportation logistics.
