Provenance:
This
is the beautiful harp that appears on my
groundbreaking A
Christmas Collection. In otherwise great condition, it had a
doweled repair in the neck when I acquired it in the 1990s. I had Markwood
Harps create a custom string set for it, played it for the project and for
a few subsequent years in my annual Christmas shows. One day, it spilt at
presumably the old repair location. The soundboard remains in great
condition. These are incredibly charming small “neo-Celtic” harps with
31 strings and early sharping levers. Clark built and sold these for a
couple decades from about 1915 into 1950 (there is a book out about
Melville Clark and his harps). It
stands 52-1/2” high – 39-1/2” when removed from the detachable
fold-able stand. Offered
for a third of its original value, so you can have the repair handled as
you see fit. Price: SOLD |
