The Dusty Strings Crescendo is a very good sounding lever harp with 34 strings. This harp is made of sapele wood, which is a kind of mahogany. The harp is fitted with Camac levers. The harp comes with a set of legs and tuning key. A transport cover can be purchased separately with the harp.

The Apprentice is the perfect setup for a beginning hammered dulcimer player. Built with a laminated Finland birch soundboard and finished in a striking black, the Apprentice is exceptionally sturdy and stable and offers a sweet, balanced sound. The 2½ octave, 12/11 arrangement corresponds to all the well-known instructional materials. The Apprentice has 2½ octaves of range; the lowest note is the G below middle

The FH36S harp is almost identical to the FH36H. The difference is in the shape of the sound box. 

The sides and back of the sound box consist of five facets. This design puts a flat facet, rather than a corner, against the player’s shoulder, which some find more comfortable and which makes it easier to reach the lower strings. This sound box shape, as opposed to the rectangular sound box of the FH36H, gives an overall rounder sound, with a slightly fuller bass voice. The bass strings as well as the mid and top ranges sound very beautiful. The harp is available in four species of hardwoods: sapele, walnut, maple and bubinga.

The harp will please many advanced players, but is also very interesting for beginning players, who want to buy a great instrument. A firm harp case and tuning wrench are included. 

FH36 Sound comparison of different woods:

• 3+ octaves
• solid sapele soundboard and back
• traditional 5th-interval tuning
• 3 octave chromatic range
• 13/12 configuration with a 7 course superbass bridge (13/12/7)

The smallest of the Dusty Strings Chromatic Series instruments, the D300 offers a full, professional tone on a smaller, more portable body size. The bottom half-octave is on the left side of

The Dusty Strings FH34S is a beautiful harp with a bright, clear sound with strong basses. The FH34S harp is almost identical to the FH34. The difference is in the shape of the sound box. The sides and back of the sound box consist of five facets. This design puts a flat facet, rather than a corner, against the player’s shoulder, which some find more comfortable and which makes it easier to reach the lower strings.

The FH34 is built in various carefully selected hardwoods and is made with nylon or gut strings. Included are a transport case, legset and tuning wrench.

Flying with a harp can be one of the greatest challenges of a harp player's existence, especially since off-the-shelf flight cases haven’t been readily available for harps the way they are for many other instruments. We’ve found that harp players are quite resourceful on the whole, and have come up with all sorts of creative solutions to this problem, but there’s still commonly a feeling of dread when taking a harp to the airport. Will the harp survive the trip? Will the harp player survive the struggle of dragging an unwieldy box through the airport with all of their other luggage?

We set out to make this easier, and we’re thrilled to report that we have achieved the following goals with our flight case:

Keeps the harp safe from the unpredictable treatment of TSA officers, baggage handlers, and the weather

• Shell is shaped for maximum rigidity
• “Handle With Care – Musical Instrument” tag is included
• Labels on the case tell TSA how to open it safely
• Scuff pads protect the points on the case that commonly contact the ground
• Recessed safety latches lock in the shut position, and are easy to open by pinching a spring tab
• Heat-reflective coating adds a layer of protection from the sun
• Rubber seal will resist a moderate rain shower

Makes it possible to avoid over-weight baggage fees ($75-$300 per flight, depending on the airline and destination)

• Carbon fiber provides a high degree of strength at a comparatively light weight
• Flight case weighs just under 21 pounds
• Designed to safely hold the harp without its soft case, in order to reduce weight

Makes the trips to and from the airport as stress-free as possible

• Sleek, streamlined shape is easily maneuverable by a single person
• Glides effortlessly along on four wheels (with swivel wheels in the front)
• Or tip it up on two wheels and push or pull it like a hand truck or harp trolley. It easily goes up and down stairs this way!

Fits a variety of harps, not just Dusty Strings models

• Broadly speaking, this case fits 34-string and smaller harps. For more details, see the Sizing tab on this page.
• Configurable and removable foam padding means you can use the same case for multiple different harps
• Optional suspension harness can be used to secure harps that are smaller than the foam padding will accommodate

Other features

• Swivel wheels can be easily removed at the airport and stowed in your luggage, keeping them safe from damage during the flight
• Lid stay keeps the lid from falling all the way open, and is removable for times when you want to separate the two halves of the case

We hope it will be a worthwhile investment in security and stress-free travel, as well as a classy and professional travel companion.

Important addition: the flight case is made of carbon fiber and is designed to be used a lot. Light weight, strong, wheels. Outward appearance is not a priority. There may be some scratches on it. Dusty Strings chose this because they did not want to make the flight cases unnecessarily expensive with a perfect outside apperience. More scratches will certainly occur during use.

The 34-string Boulevard was designed with classical players and students in mind, and is quite different in feel and sound from other Dusty Strings harps. The tone is warm and full and the higher-tension concert gut strings provide a shorter sustain than the "typical" Dusty Strings sound. This makes the Boulevard an ideal choice for classical repertoire and for players and students who want a feel similar to that of a pedal harp. 

Based on the popular Ravenna 34, the Boulevard features the same innovative and affordable construction technique, the comfortable stave back body, and the easily removable stand. It It is designed to be as lightweight and portable as possible in a full-range harp, without sacrificing the quality of the hardware or the construction. 

The package includes a full set of Loveland sharping levers, tuning wrench, stand and CD34 case. An optionally built-in drop down leg can bring the harp to any desired playing height. With a drop down leg you can even play standing up. The weight is about 8,5 kilo. Including a deluxe harp case. 2 years warranty.

The FH36H has 36 strings, 5 octaves, reaching from the C (2 octaves below the middle C) to the  C, 3 octaves above the middle C. The harp is completely made of solid wood and has an overwhelming sound. The harp will please many advanced players, but is also very interesting for beginning players, who want to buy a great instrument.

The rectangular soundbox shape of the FH36H produces a very balanced, well-defined sound with great projection. The FH36H has facets on the upper corners of the back to increase playing comfort. This "hybrid-stave" design provides the ergonomic benefits of our popular 36-string stave-back harp at a portion of the cost.
