This wonderful Lyon & Healy Salzedo model harp was purchased new in 2000 and used extensively with the San Francisco Symphony for more than 15 years, during which time it was played by many professional harpists for concerts and recordings. The voice is impressive with a rich, warm sound.
Last regulated in January 2020 by certified L&H harp technician Karen Gottlieb, the harp is in very good condition. The neck, body, base and column are structurally and mechanically in very good condition, with no clicking in the rivets.
As added protection, a brace had been installed inside the sounding board to stabilize any concerns of a slight separation between the 5th octave B and D near the center strip. The sounding board is stable, with no movement and no change in sound since the brace was installed.
Cosmetically, the harp has been very well-cared for. There are slight marks from playing and a few nicks considered normal for a harp this age used professionally.
The harp has a larger string spacing for the right hand in the top octaves, which makes it very comfortable to play.
Due to the pandemic, the harp has rarely been moved in the past two years, however it has been continually played and cared for during this time. This harp is truly a professional quality instrument.
Price includes a shipping trunk that is available for pick-up in the San Francisco Bay area. The harp however, can be seen and played in Pasadena, CA.
