FH36B in maple.
FH36B Package

General Information
The FH36B has what we feel is the ideal range for a full-size lever harp: five octaves, starting and ending on C. The all-solid-wood construction brings a surprising amount of depth, power, and articulation to our characteristic bright and clear sound. This harp will delight the professional or the player new to harping who is ready to make an investment in quality, musical potential, and sheer enjoyment for years to come.
This model has a rectangular soundbox, as opposed to the stave-back shape of the FH36S. The rectangular soundbox tends to produce a more articulate, defined sound throughout the harp’s range, and projects particularly well. Watch and listen to the FH36B harp.
