Introducing the GAIA, the first student model created by SALVI specifically as a preparatory instrument to the pedal harp. Equipped with pedal harp strings, the GAIA has the same string tension, spacing, and gauge of a SALVI pedal harp.

With the GAIA, the future pedal harpist becomes accustomed to the appropriate string tension from the earliest years of study, exercising the correct finger strength and position of the hands. Featuring a characteristic pedal harp sound, the GAIA is an ideal instrument for the aspiring pedal harpist or for those wishing to play classical repertoire on an easily portable instrument. The GAIA is an exceptionally compact and lightweight harp, and it will appeal to the student and seasoned harpist alike with its wide range of 38 strings and its warm, full sound.

New generation levers and mechanical components ensure reliable intonation, and the engineering of the soundbox provides a powerful sound.
