This eases the transition for a student who begins on lever harp and then progresses to a pedal harp once she has decided she’s crazy enough to stay with the harp. Since Lyon & Healy is a pedal harp maker, they have long designed most models of lever harp they produce to have the same spacing, tension, and feel as their pedal harps. The same is true of the Folk Harp, which is no longer produced, but there are still lots of them being played. Lyon & Healy’s three current models of lever harp, the Troubadour, Prelude, and Ogden, are all string with pedal harp strings. The confusing thing is that many models of Lyon & Healy lever harp are designed to take pedal harp strings. Bow Brand, which produces strings for Lyon & Healy and, produces both pedal and lever harp strings. With 130 years of harp making experience, each hand-crafted pedal and lever harp is instilled with a legacy of superior woodcrafting and commitment to the development of the instrument.I was talking with a colleague over at, Lyon & Healy’s partner website for strings, accessories, and all things harp, and he told me that his customers frequently experience confusion over what type of strings to buy for their Lyon & Healy lever harp.
