The Style 17, a semi-grand favorite by Lyon & Healy, features similar elements to the larger Style 23 model in a slightly smaller body. This particular harp, built in 1979 for the model's 90th anniversary (note plaque on action plate), was purchased from its previous owner in 1985 and has been well played and cared for ever since.
Past restorations to the instrument include a new neck, tuning pins and repairs to the base bolt bushings, all done by the Lyon & Healy factory in Chicago. The harp has aged quite well with some cosmetic wear, acceptable for a professional instrument of this age. It is tuned regularly and is kept in a smoke-free environment. The sound is quite warm and resonant.
Beautifully detailed gold leaf has been added to the column and base by Lyon & Healy master craftsman, Sydney Lauber, giving the instrument an elegant touch. The harp was last regulated by certified harp technician, Jason Azem in June 2022. Price includes a heavy-duty cover.
The harp is located in San Clemente, California. Interested parties may email the owner at laraineclaire@icloud.com .
