General information


This 26-string, 3-1/2 octave harp has a sweet and surprisingly strong voice, with the added resonance that comes from all-solid wood construction. Complete with carrying case and full sharping levers, the FH26 can serve as a full-voiced beginner’s harp or a high-quality, portable harp for the established player. An attractively shaped matching leg set is optional. Watch and listen to the FH-26 harp.
