Description: The FH34S harp is Dusty Strings' lightest-weight 34-string harp. Its sleek, petite shape, weight-saving details and removable stand make it a joy to transport. The 34 strings afford a full playing range with rich voice for both professional and beginning player.
​
The sound is sweet, warm, and beautifully balanced, with a full bass and clear, singing treble. It has the classic Dusty resonance and brightness with some more distinction between the notes and slightly more focused sound than the larger FH harps. The mid and treble strings are one gauge lighter making it very responsive - a harp that plays itself!

The soundbox is a full, faceted, arched staveback shape and the top of the soundboard  comfortably narrow. The harp nestles cozily into your shoulder, and you'll easily reach the lowest strings . Options for harp leg length means you can tailor the height for your own comfort.

The lightest wood option is walnut, with other options listed above. The FH34S includes full set of loveland levers (camac optional), CD34 case, removable stand & legs and custom tuning wrench.
