Crescendo harp.
Crescendo 32

General Information
The 32-string Crescendo blends the streamlined construction of the Allegro with a larger playing range. With a laminated birch soundboard with binding, solid sapele on the rest of the harp, and levers on the C, F, and B strings, the Crescendo has the clean, bright sound of the Allegro enhanced by the deeper, fuller effect of a larger harp.
Even with the additional bass range, this 4-1/2 octave harp is still compact enough for easy portability. For the beginner or budget-conscious player, the Crescendo combines affordability with the pleasure of playing a sweet sounding midsize harp. Padded case and additional sharping levers are optional. Watch and listen to the Crescendo 32 harp.
