Rees Aberdeen Meadow Lever Harp
Overview
The Rees Aberdeen Meadow is a 36-string lever harp handcrafted in Rising Sun, Indiana, that exemplifies the small-workshop quality and personal attention that distinguishes American harp building. The solid spruce soundboard and cherry hardwood body produce a tone that is warm and intimate yet surprisingly full-bodied, with a sweet singing quality in the upper register and a satisfying depth in the bass. Rees harps are known for their exceptional string tension balance " the Aberdeen Meadow feels even and responsive from the lowest to the highest string, rewarding expressive playing with nuanced dynamic control. Robinson levers provide clean, quiet sharping across all strings, and the overall mechanical operation of the instrument is smooth and reliable. The hand-rubbed oil finish is beautiful and organic, and the craftsmanship throughout reflects the care of builders who stake their personal reputation on every instrument. This harp is ideal for intermediate to advanced lever harp players who value tonal warmth and intimacy, as well as folk and Celtic musicians who want an instrument with genuine character. The boutique nature of Rees production means lead times can be significant, and the intimate tonal character, while beautiful, may not project as aggressively as some competing instruments in louder performance settings.
