Overview
Chelby levers engage the string from the side, which limits the chance of a string lifting off the bridge pin, and each lever bolts to its base with a hex bolt. They are mounted to the harp arm of a handcrafted wood frame with a ply soundboard.
The reason to look at it is the lever design, with red and blue caps marking the C and F strings so a player can change keys by feel. The limitation is practical, since the instrument is large and the listing gives no weight.
Who it's for
Students moving from beginner to intermediate material within a four octave range are the intended players. Harpists who need a full concert range, or who want weight and warranty details, should look at another model.
Pros and cons
- Chelby levers engage strings from the side

- Weight and warranty unstated
- Large frame needs floor space
- Limited range for advanced repertoire
Performance notes
The ply soundboard and wood frame carry the string vibration, and nylon strings give a soft, rounded tone. A synthetic washer between each lever and its base smooths the lifting action and resists slipping once engaged. The bridge pins can be turned in or out with a hex wrench to adjust how the lever meets the string.
