I was looking for a smaller harp that would be easy to transport to and from gigs. After looking at some other brands, I found the Dusty Strings harps on Sylvia Woods' website and became very interested. I spoke with Sylvia and found her to be a great lady who knows her info about harps. She advised me well, and after studying the various harps made by Dusty Strings, and listening to the sound samples over and over again, I decided on the FH26 in Bubinga. WOW! I absolutely love this harp! It has a beautiful sound quality that keeps getting better each day I play it. I own two other harps, which are beautiful instruments, but this new addition is very necessary as I have to consider the weight of loading instruments following shoulder surgery. I highly recommend this excellent harp to anyone who loves to be blown away by the sound of their harp. It is a true joy to play!
