Resonant, Light-Weight Custom Built Autoharps
Custom built Evoharp and Sparrowharp are attractive alternatives in the world of autoharp.
The full-sized Evoharp (22″ tall x 11.75″ wide) combines elements of the old Oscar Schmidt A-models (made before 1970) with contemporary standards of craftsmanship. The light weight makes it a pleasure to hold. The sound is a full and rich open tone.
The 3/4-sized Sparrowharp was designed for children or adults with shorter arms (20.5 inches tall x 9.5 inches wide).
The Evoharp is a handmade autoharp or chord harp, also known as a chorded zither. The Sparrowharp has similar characteristics but it is narrower in width for smaller bodies and shorter arms.
Designed as a 15-bar autoharp, the Evoharp may also be ordered in 18 or 21-bar configurations or as a diatonic autoharp. People with bursitis and arthritis take pleasure in this harp because of its light weight, size and action.
Case features handles, shoulder strap and backpack option with larger music book storage. $50 case (if sold separately)
