The Balladeer Harp is a 22 string harp designed by luthier, Zachary Taylor. Featuring the smooth, sleek look of the Chelby levers is reflected in their functionality. Compared to the standard Roosebeck harp levers, the Chelby levers are mechanically superior. The design allows the lever to engage the string from the side and limit the possibility of strings lifting off the bridge pin. Professional harpists appreciate the red and blue colored caps, which make it easy to locate the C- and F-string levers.
The lever is attached to its base by a hex bolt. A synthetic washer is spaced between the lever and base, creating a smooth and controlled, lifting action that resists slipping once engaged. The base of each lever is mounted to the harp arm by two screws, should any adjustment be necessary. The bridge pins for the Chelby levers have also been improved; they can be adjusted, in or out, by simple turning with a hex wrench.
It has an engraved, inlaid sheesham frame and a birch soundboard which provides exceptional sound and strength. It is approximately 30" high and features 22 DuPont hard nylon strings that range from G3 to G6. It has 22 sharpening levers.
It includes a tuning tool and an extra string set. Wood coloring and variations may be different from the photo.
