Harp Description: 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 as the popular Ravenna 26, the Ravenna 34 offers almost five full octaves of distinctive Dusty Strings sound in a very affordable instrument. 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. The stave-back soundbox makes for great playing comfort.
Dusty Strings' characteristic bright, full sound, tuning stability, even tension across the strings, and meticulous craftsmanship make the Ravenna 34 a great value, and it has a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. An extremely innovative and useful feature of this remarkable harp is the built-in leg, which drops smoothly into place for convenient and adjustable playing support. The harp can be quickly and easily adjusted to your correct playing height, without the hassle of additional legs or stools. With a 20" range of adjustment, the harp can easily be played sitting or standing. The leg easily slides out of the way, back inside the harp, when not in use. The Ravenna 34 comes with Loveland sharping levers on C, F, and B strings. All the lever holes are pre-drilled, making it easy to add levers at a later date. It can also be ordered with a full set of Loveland levers. Soundboard: Clear finished laminated European birch. Neck and Pillar: Solid ash with a clear lacquer finish. Soundbox: Laminated European birch with ash-grained black vinyl veneer.Standard Ravenna: The basic model comes with a black back and base, and a natural soundboard, neck and pillar.

With this option, the entire harp is black, with the exception of the natural soundboard. Optional Colors: The Ravenna is also available in 2 other colors, for an additional $160. With these options, the soundboard is natural, and the base and the capital (the part at the top of the soundbox) are black. The back, neck, and pillar are the color you choose: burgundy or green.

Optional Soft Case : a form-fitting, soft-shell case featuring foam padding, a cordura exterior, zipper closing, a shoulder strap, and a variety of pockets for holding music accessories. It includes D-rings to attach optional backpack straps, which allow the harp to balance comfortably on the back.
Optional Stand : This black stand is great for people who want a stable base for their Ravenna 34 Harp. It quickly attaches to the harp base with the twist of a knob, raising the harp 5". Made of black lacquered ash, this handy stand easily disassembles for travel. You do not need to remove the built-in harp leg in order to attach this stand. Since all of the Ravenna harps have a black base, this black stand looks great with any of the Ravenna colors. See the photos below.
