Overview

Changing keys on this harp comes down to the Chelby levers, which engage a string from the side and limit the chance of it lifting off the bridge pin. Each lever bolts to its base with a hex bolt, and the frame stands on a pedestal.

The reason to look at it is the complete package, with bag, tuning tool and spare strings, and caps in red and blue that mark the C and F strings. The limitation is the modest range for advanced repertoire, along with spec fields that do not agree with each other.

Who it's for

Beginner and intermediate students who want colored levers and a carrying bag in one purchase are the target. Harpists after a full concert range, or buyers who need tidy, consistent spec entries, should look at another listing.

Performance notes

A birch plywood soundboard and a sheesham frame carry the string vibration, while hard nylon strings set the tone. A washer between each lever and its base smooths the lifting action. The bridge pins can be turned in or out with a hex wrench to change how the lever meets the string.
