To provide the best performance, the Ravenna is made with the same high-quality hardware and materials as our more expensive models.  So, in order to meet our goal of affordability for the most budget-conscious harpists, we came up with an innovative construction technique that reduces the time we put into building them. We also priced separately all the accessories and options that are useful but not immediately essential, which is why the base price includes just the instrument and a tuning wrench. Each person can add exactly what they want or need to fit their budget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNot just for beginners, the Ravenna 26 is a great harp for anyone who needs something small and portable. It has a remarkably full and bright sound for its size, and features our characteristic tuning stability and even string tension. The staveback soundbox provides an extra level of playing comfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOther accessories can be ordered with the harp or added later, as budget allows. A common addition is a partial or full set of sharping levers, which opens up the range of available playing keys. All the lever holes are pre-drilled, making it possible to add Loveland levers later on. It does require time and detailed work, so we usually recommend starting out with as many sharping levers as your budget can accommodate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eUnless the harp is being played by a small child, you will probably want a drop-down leg or a stand to raise it up to a comfortable height. The drop-down leg slides into playing position with the twist of a knob and extends to any height up to 24 inches. It is very flexible and portable, but must be retracted into the harp when you're done playing. The harp also has to be supported against the player's body when using the leg).

However, the Ravenna's size is now my favorite thing about it! It's portable, but it still has amazing volume, warmth, and clarity. Since it only weighs 14 pounds, I can carry it to and fro without breaking a sweat—and with the drop-down lever, I've been able to stash it in the backseat of my four-door, drive to the park, and join my friends for a jam circle, all while I'm seated on a stump. It's an excellent starter for someone who is just picking up the harp, but it's also an awesome model for a veteran harpist who would prefer something more convenient than a 50-pound full-size.

Hammers #1, 2, 5, 6 and 8 have a slightly shorter striking surface that works well with the slightly narrower string spacings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStriking surface material: More than anything else, the material that actually comes into contact with the strings will determine the overall sound. The choices we offer are hardwood (for a louder, bell-like tone, used in ensemble and outdoor playing situations where you need to be loud), suede leather (for a softer, warmer tone, often used for indoor solo playing - found on #2, 5, 6 \u0026amp; 7), kangaroo leather (for a sound between hardwood and suede leather - found on #8 \u0026amp; 9), or felt (for a very soft, muted tone for quiet practicing, mellow moods or recording - found on \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- found on #8 \u0026amp; 9\u003c\/span\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight and stiffness are additional factors that influence hammer performance. In the double-sided hammers, #5, 6 and 8 have a smaller head size, are lighter, and have a narrower, more flexible handle, thus giving a lighter sound. #7 and 9 have a larger head size and a wider, less flexible handle, which transfers more energy to the strings for a generally more powerful sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of this gives you a sense as to why most players end up with a collection of different hammers for different situations and moods.

To provide the best performance, the Ravenna is made with the same high-quality hardware and materials as our more expensive models.  So, in order to meet our goal of affordability for the most budget-conscious harpists, we came up with an innovative construction technique that reduces the time we put into building them. We also priced separately all the accessories and options that are useful but not immediately essential, which is why the base price includes just the instrument, a tuning wrench, and the most commonly-used sharping levers. Each person can add exactly what they want or need to fit their budget. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ravenna 34 features nearly five octaves of the characteristic Dusty Strings sound - a warm, strong bass balanced by a bright, clear treble. It has a comfortable stave-back design and even string tension, allowing for precision playing. To keep the carrying size of the harp relatively compact and portable, the stand (if you choose to include one) is completely removable and comes apart to fit in one of the case pockets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional sharping levers can be ordered with the harp or added later, as budget allows. All the lever holes are pre-drilled, making it possible to add Loveland levers later on, but it does require time and detailed work, so we usually recommend starting out with as many sharping levers as your budget can accommodate. More levers means a wider range of available playing keys, and anyone who gets seriously into playing the harp will eventually want a full set of levers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost people find that raising the Ravenna 34 about 5\" off the floor is a comfortable height for playing, and you can choose either a drop-down leg or a stand to achieve this. The drop-down leg slides into playing position with the twist of a knob and adjusts to any height. It is very flexible and portable, but must be retracted into the harp when you're done playing (the harp also must be supported by the player's body when using this leg. The removable stand raises it about 5 inches (8\" and 12\" legs are also available) and holds it steady on four legs. If neither option fits in the budget, you can set it up on a small box or step-stool while playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CD34 case makes this harp easy to take in the car or carry on the subway. It has thick foam padding and a water resistant exterior, with a comfortable shoulder strap and numerous pockets for a stand, legs, music and other accessories.

While it's proving to have a wider appeal than we initially expected, we're also excited about its original purpose as a much-needed resource for school mariachi programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThese programs are known to be valuable educational, musical, and cultural experiences for the students involved. Harp has traditionally been an important part of the mariachi ensemble, but we've heard over and over again how difficult it is for music educators to find harps that meet all their needs. Traditional look, feel, and sound are important, and so are durability, sharping levers, and tuning stability. Add to that the limits of a school budget, and it becomes quite a challenge for a school program to incorporate harp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAfter learning about the power of these programs, we were inspired to create a model that speaks to this need. We combined time-tested elements of the Ravenna 34 with a new neck, a carbon fiber pillar, and a string set with the lighter tension and closer spacing of the mariachi style. The result is a big, open voice on a very portable, sturdy, and affordable harp that can handle the everyday bumps and bruises of the school environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Serrana 34 comes with a full set of Loveland levers, a deluxe padded case, and two extendable legs for easy adjustability between sitting and standing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to be carried by the carbon fiber pillar and laid on its back while the legs are deployed, the harp has protective scuff pads on all the contact points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWith the optional professional-level Dusty Harp Pickup installed ($445), the Serrana has a huge amplified sound and a lot of versatility.
