Made in the USA! An affordable, amplified, professional instrument  
SOLD

Some recent testimonials:

"Thanks for the extreme care in packaging.  (The Tonedevil) arrived in great condition.  Best $600 "upgrade" that I've ever made.  Prior instrument I tried did not have any where near the tone quality the Tonedevil has.  Nor to the non-professional eye, the quality workmanship.  Thanks for a world class transaction and an excellent instrument.  Please pass on my appreciation to the Powell brothers for making a quality value for a first timer entering what I hope will be many years of enjoyment. Regards, Jerry" ― (Brown, June, 2014)

"It's a wonderful sounding instrument. I'm extremely pleased with it's sustain, tone & playability." ― Bruce Labadie

The Powell brothers have always focused on musical functionality over cosmetics, now having created a very repeatable product with sufficiently attractive aesthetics that fills a nice niche between entry-level and more expensive handmade harp guitars.  Inspired greatly by Chris Knutsen’s hundred-year-old harp guitars, their instruments give off a distinctive handmade-in-Idaho vibe.

To this end, appointments are kept simple, fit and finish held to a reasonable minimum, while hardware, set-up and tone are all excellent.  Nicely balanced and powerful acoustically (more fundamentals than partials), with a passive Tonedevil 3-contact piezo pickup system to crank it up live.  Note that it has 14 frets to the body, as compared to the Dyer’s 12.

Here’s harp guitar master Dave Powell putting one of these instruments through its paces: St. Anne's Reel A loose-fitting soft keyboard case is included.   Limited Lifetime Warranty.

A growing list of players has been trying out this worthy alternative to the ubiquitous Dyer copies out there.  Perhaps you should, too!
