Harp Description:
The Crescendo 34 is an ideal blend of affordability, portability and depth of sound in a 4 ¾-octave range. With a solid sapele wood neck, back and sides, and a laminated birch soundboard (like the popular Allegro 26), the Crescendo 34 has a clean, bright sound with a deep, resonant bass.

This harp is the same overall size as its 32-string predecessor, but now goes down to the low C in the bass. For playing comfort, Dusty Strings has added facets on the upper corners of the back. This clever "hybrid-stave" design provides the ergonomic benefits of Dusty's popular 36-string stave back harp at a portion of the cost.

To keep the carrying size to a minimum while giving maximum flexibility of playing height, the Crescendo 34 includes an innovative removable stand. It has 5-inch removable legs and nestles into the base of the harp, attaching in seconds with the twist of a knob and without turning the harp upside down. 8-inch legs are an option for those who prefer more height. For those who like a lower height, the harp balances beautifully on the ground without the stand.

The Crescendo 34 delivers a great combination of range, performance, and value in an elegant and easy-to-manage harp.

Included:
• Loveland sharping levers on all strings
• Standard tuning key
• Stand with 4 legs
