Silicon Valley Chapter of the American Harp Society

For Sale: 46 year-old Lyon & Healy Gold Style 17 harp in wonderful condition both structurally and mechanically. It has been extremely well cared for, rarely moved and basically not played in the past 25 years, so there has been little wear and tear. The wood and the gold show beautifully, in virtually perfect condition, with only a few very small marks. There is a very slight twist in the neck but not a problem. There is NO clicking in the rivets/mechanism and the sounding board, center strip, base and base frame are all in excellent condition. After not having been played for years, the sound has opened up nicely - a big base and lovely warm, full sound and very even throughout. The harp has been regularly maintained and regulated by the current owner.
The harp has just been restrung with Bow Brand Strings; 1st oct. nylon, 2nd -3rd oct. gut and tarnish resistant wires. Most of the 4th and 5th oct gut strings were also replaced with BB gut. The harp received a full inspection and regulation by Karen Gottlieb, L&H certified harp technician, in January 2021, and is 'good to go'. Asking price: $24,000. The harp is located in the San Francisco Bay Area and comes with a Lyon and Healy dust cover. Please contact Maria Danly at 415-810-5036, mariadanly@comcast.net for more information. Flyer
