General Information
Quality construction meets affordability in the Ravenna 34, a portable, stave-back harp designed for the discerning, cost-conscious harp enthusiast who requires a reliable, full-range instrument with a rich, satisfying sound.
Using the same innovative design and construction techniques (patent pending) as our popular Ravenna 26, the Ravenna 34 offers almost five full octaves of distinctive Dusty Strings sound at a very attractive price. It has a warm, strong bass balanced by a bright, clear treble, even string tension for precision while playing, and high-quality materials and refined craftsmanship for lasting value. With an array of available options, the Ravenna 34 invites you to thoroughly enjoy exploring a full-range harp. Watch and listen to the Ravenna 34 harp.
Features
Loveland sharping levers are standard on C, F and B strings. All the lever holes are pre-drilled for easy installation of additional levers. The built-in leg drops smoothly into place to solidly hold the harp at the player’s ideal height; with a 20" range of adjustment, the harp can easily be played sitting or standing.
