This particular Kovac Harpune II, Model C1, serial number #DC009, uses Cherry & Mahogany wood for its various functional accents & string rib. The sides of the Body (sound chamber), and the Top & Bottom Plates are made entirely from Western Red Cedar.
Thus, this harp is lightweight, at 12 pounds, and is articulate & melodic because of the thorough use of Paulownia & Cedar tone woods for all of its internal & external sound chamber components. Its tone is brighter with a firm bass range.
Its Paulownia tone wood soundboard uses Cedar inner supports and inner string rib, creating a very responsive transducer for its harp strings to interact with. It is normal for this type of soundboard to have a noticeable outward flex near the bass region of its string rib.
The Neck, Pillar (Post), Feet, and structural support Rails use the standard Harpune II laminated and veneered cabinet wood, including Mahogany, throughout, including within the Body.
All other features & engineering closely match that of the Harpune II series harps.
This Model C1 harp is only available for local pickup at our shop. And, it is also available for sale in our local Kentucky market.

Cash & credit cards will be accepted at the time of purchase. (No checks or money orders.) However, 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.

DAMAGE to SHIPMENT
- You must check your delivery for any damage or loss immediately upon its arrival in the unlikely event of any shipping issues with the product caused by the 3rd party, the delivery carrier.
- 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).
