FH36S Bubinga

By Hitomi Momose

A good instrument like this makes you sound better. You will not be sorry for extra $$ you spend on Bubinga. I have not had a chance to compare it with the sound of Wenge. Staved back also is easy on my right clavicle. I have not regretted this purchase.

FH36S Bubinga

By Jane Miller

I love my new Dusty Strings! The sound is so full and resonant. It makes my playing sound very beautiful. Very comfortable to play, definitely worth the money.

Beautiful Harp

By Suzanne Hall

This is my first harp - as I am a new student (at 63). The sound is absolutely beautiful even coming from a new harper. Investing in a good harp from the beginning has given me confidence in my playing as just laying my fingers of this beautiful instrument and it's professional tone has encouraged my progress. The craftsmanship of this harp is outstanding and a piece of art.

A dream came true with FH36S Bubinga

By Laurel Grube

At age 50 my childhood dream came true of playing the most beautiful music on a harp. I chose the best and that was your FH36S Bubinga harp. The sound is absolutely beautiful. I feel so comfortable playing it and have played it at an opening of an art exhibit and as the parlor music in a historical Christmas house tour.

Incredible harp!

By Nate

Recently, I received my FH36S from the Sylvia Woods Harp Center and I have been incredibly pleased with my purchase. It's beautiful in its looks and sound. The bass strings' sound can really fill the room. The treble end is also outstanding. If you are considering buying this harp, I strongly recommend it.

FH36S

By Susan Byron

I have owned a Koa FH36S harp for 2 years. It has a beautiful sound, and this is a gorgeous harp! I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it as a relaxing hobby when I get home from work. Susan

Excellent Instrument

By kelly

I bought my Dusty Strings from Sylvia about 12 years ago, and I've been thrilled with it ever since. I splurged for the Bubinga wood, and am so glad I did. The sound is full and rich and warm and it's a joy to play every day.
