Considered built circa 1930s, this beautiful gold Wurlitzer Starke Model Orchestral Grand pedal harp has been the current owner’s instrument since 1962. It was played for performances, recitals and orchestral work.
In 2012 the harp had a major overhaul at the Lyon & Healy factory in Chicago which included a new neck, action re-revit, baseboard re-fit and gilding touch-up throughout.
The restoration work done by Lyon & Healy is extensive and the re-gilding is very beautiful.
The harp has been maintained and tuned regularly. Like many Wurlitzer harps of this era, the sound is rich and resonant and well-balanced across all registers.
