Harp Description:
The 34-string Boulevard was designed with classical players and students in mind, and is quite different in feel and sound from other Dusty Strings harps. The tone is warm and full and the higher-tension concert gut strings provide a shorter sustain than the "typical" Dusty Strings sound. This makes the Boulevard an ideal choice for classical repertoire and for players and students who want a feel similar to that of a pedal harp.
Based on the popular Ravenna 34, the Boulevard features the same innovative and affordable construction technique, the comfortable stave back body, and the easily removable stand. It was designed it to be as lightweight and portable as possible in a full-range harp, without sacrificing the quality of the hardware or the construction. The package includes a full set of Loveland sharping levers, tuning wrench, stand and deluxe soft case.
The four-legged stand is quickly and easily removable without needing to turn the harp over, and comes apart to fit in the case pocket. It includes 5" legs, but 8" legs can be substituted if you prefer the harp to be situated higher up.
The case is made of durable, water-resistant cordura with thick foam padding, a convenient shoulder strap and a multitude of pockets for your stand, music, extra strings and other accessories.
An extremely innovative and useful feature of this remarkable harp is the optional drop-down 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.
