The clean lines, the visual delicacy, and the light weight, belie the immense structural strength and rigidity of these little harps. This has been achieved by the use of computer aided design techniques and modern materials. The neck and pillar incorporate a synthetic reinforcement. The back is constructed with a compound curvature which combines great structural stiffness with light weight. The soundboard is meticulously crafted from sitka spruce.
The elegant semitone levers are cast in silicon bronze and polished. The design features an inclined pivot to give a compact and very rigid lever, which results in a precise and resonant semitone.
The Body neck and pillar are built from Mahogany, with sycamore trim, and sitka spruce soundboard. Height 0.92 M / 36 ins. Weight 4 Kg / 8.75 lb.
