SAVE Big $$ on this, our very lightly used, Store Demo Harp!

Paraguayan folk harps are known for their bright treble and firm bass range, right down to the bottom bass string. This particular harp has a pleasing resonance.

It has moderate tension with strings spaced a few millimeters closer together than comparable Celtic-style folk harps. This makes it far easier to coax a great tone out of the harp, even for beginners, seniors, & children, with a lot less stress & tension for the player.

This harp also has a 5/16" mounting hole on the right side to install an internal sound pick-up device jack.

Traditional Paraguayan harps use more robust guitar tuning mechanisms which make tuning the harp at least 2 or 3 times faster with almost no mistakes that normally break your strings on Celtic-style folk harps.

On the top of the Neck assembly halves, the notes for each tuning mechanism are embossed into the wood, helping to accurately identify which string you are tuning & very quickly. (See its picture above.) This also allows one to re-tune the harp strings to either sharp or flat in seconds without needing costly sharping levers installed.

The harp uses a bottom-loaded bass port for more robust bass maintaining its bass sub-harmonics normally lost with holes cut into the back of the harp. And, this also helps the sound to better project from the harp out to the audience.

The harp has a pre-drilled port to add a Sound Board pick-up device jack. It has a removable patch to gain access to the port.

This harp's Back Panel is easily removed for string installation & other maintenance. It includes an easy lift handle mounted to the back of the harp. 

This new Paraguayan Style Folk Harp, serial number #DC011, has 34 strings, and is the C Major scale, from two C's below middle C up to three A's above middle C.

Constructed of Paulownia and Maple woods and lightweight cabinet-grade multi-ply Neck, Pillar, and Back Panel with deluxe quarter-sawn Paulownia Sound Board.

The Sound Board is also "floating" meaning it can be easily removed, repaired, or replaced in case of an accident, etc. No need for an expensive luthier to break down the harp to restore it, taking, perhaps, many weeks or months to do so! 

It also includes Dupont brand Tynex nylon harp treble strings and over two octaves of wound nylon (wrapped) bass strings. 

Very lightweight, under 25 lbs. 55” tall.

1-year warranty. (Strings and abuse not covered by warranty.)

Local pickup only at our harp wood shop location. No deposits or holds are accepted. First come, first served. So, please, make your purchase of this harp online through the above Shopping Cart to reserve this harp for yourself.

Plus, a 6% KY sales tax will be added to the local purchase. So, if you live outside of the state of Kentucky, I suggest you first purchase the harp online so that when you come to pick it up, it will be held for you, but without paying Kentucky Sales Tax in person.

This harp is for sale in the local Kentucky market, as well. So, purchase this harp today before it is gone!

        • Take pictures, if possible, and notify the Carrier immediately of any damages to or missing order(s). (Within 24 hours or less.) John Kovac Harps by Davy C (David J Clark, Agent) will not be held responsible for damage to or losses of orders done while in transit. Claims will be made to the shipping carrier immediately in such cases. (But, inform us also to keep us in the loop if anything might be done on our end.)
        • If you fail to notify the carrier in a timely manner and the claim gets rejected, you may forfeit your right to redress with the shipping carrier.
        • For clarification, but not in all cases, once you make a claim with your delivering shipment carrier, and they approve your claim & finally pay your for your loss or damages, then you will forward us that payment. Once cleared with our financial institution, then we will immediately ship out to you a replacement order(s).
