Details of your harp:
After figureing out what harp model you have decided on and the kind of wood that you want, here are a few minor details that you might like to choose.

Soundboard veneer (option for Swans and Cygnets only)
On the left is the light spruce veneer and on the right is dark cedar veneer. This is strictly cosmentic. The veneer doesn't affect the sound of the harp significantly. We sometimes have light cedar veneer. No extra charge on any of these options.

The photo below shows a Koa Deluxe with Koa veneer. This is $500 extra.

The String Rib (option for Swans and Cygnets only)
Above you will see the 4 combinations of soundboards and string ribs. From left to right: Spruce with a maple string rib, Spruce with a Rosewood string rib, Cedar with a maple string rib and Cedar with a Rosewood string rib. Basically you are choosing whether you want a contrasting string rib or not. No extra charge on either of these options.

Neck (option for Swans and Cygnets only)
If your harp is going to be maple or cherry, we would leave the neck natural, as shown in the photo of the maple Cygnet on the righton the right. If you are getting Koa, Mahogany, or Walnut you might like to look at the 2 options below. The 3 photos on the left show the maple piano pinblock has been stained to match the harp wood. On the right, the 3 photos show it left natural. No extra charge on either of these options.

Some other options to think about:

Do you want any inlay? Check out our inlay options page for some beautiful abalone inlay for your harp. From small inlays of herons, roses or celtic knots to more elaborate vine inlays, the possibilities are numerous. Let us know if you see something you'd like on your harp.

Do you need a tuner? If this is your first instrument, you probably don't have one of these and you will most definitely need one to keep your harp in tune. See the Tuning Your Harp page for tuner options.

A shoulder pad for your case makes a big difference if you carry your harp often. It not only pads your shoulder but makes the harp easier to carry. They are $15.

Have you thought about getting an extra set of strings? It's really a good idea because if you break a string and don't have a replacement, the fun's over. Sometimes (most often) strings will break when you're not even playing, like in the middle of the night. A handy item to have along with your string set is a "string tool." This helps you tie your string and cuts off the extra when you're done. The string tool is $10.
