The Dusty Strings Ravenna 26 is a 26-string lever harp that serves as an excellent entry point into the world of lever harps, offering a sweet, clear sound with enough range to play a wide variety of music. The solid sitka spruce soundboard and laminated maple body produce a balanced, singing tone that responds well to both gentle and firm playing. The 26 strings span three and a half octaves, providing enough range for solo playing, accompaniment, and most standard lever harp repertoire. Loveland levers are included on all strings, allowing for key changes and accidentals during performance. The compact size and manageable weight make it easy to transport, which is a significant practical advantage for gigging harpists and students traveling to lessons. Dusty Strings' American craftsmanship ensures consistent quality, with clean joinery, reliable tuning pins, and an attractive finish. This harp is ideal for beginning harp students, traveling harpists who need a portable instrument, and folk musicians who want to add harp to their repertoire. It produces a genuinely beautiful sound that can be enjoyed right from the first lesson. The limited range of 26 strings means more advanced repertoire may require a larger instrument, and the compact soundboard does not match the bass depth of full-size harps.
