HARPS FOR SALE:
PEDAL HARPS:
For Sale: Salvi Arianna Concert Grand Pedal Harp. Serial number 15437, built in 2009. I am the original owner of this remarkable instrument, and it has been lovingly cared for its whole life. It is in near-perfect cosmetic condition and excellent structural condition. This Arianna is a bit special as it has a “transitional” soundboard design which allows for better projection and balance across the registers, and the sound is very warm and resonant while still being clear. It has been restrung and regulated within the past year.
New the Salvi Arianna sells for $55,000. I am asking $36,500. A three-piece cover set, six-wheel dolly, wooden music stand, wooden bench, and tuning key are included in the sale. The harp is located in Kern County, but I am willing to drive it up to the Bay Area. For additional information, including photos, recordings, and condition report, please contact Peter at [email protected].

For Sale: Lyon & Healy Style 3 Gold Concert Grand Pedal Harp. Serial number 3551, built in 1934. This harp has been lovingly cared for throughout its life and is in very good cosmetic condition, including the gold gilding and beautiful hand-painted soundboard. It is a joy to play with a big, lush sound that feels effortless to produce. It has been restrung and regulated with the past year.
Lyon & Healy sells the Style 3 Gold for $108,000. I am asking $30,000. A dust cover, wooden bench, and tuning key are included. The harp is located in Kern County, but I am willing to drive it up to the Bay Area. For additional information, including photos, recordings, and condition report, please contact Peter at [email protected].

For Sale: Lyon & Healy Style 22 Gold Semi-Grand Pedal Harp. Serial number 946, built in 1910. This 45-string harp is a true piece of history and an excellent example of original Lyon & Healy Harps before the 1911 fire. Cosmetically it is in very good condition, though the very front of the column could use some gilding touchup from where the column was handled over the years. This harp plays like a dream thanks to a 115 year old soundboard that is in excellent condition and historically appropriate, lighter gauge strings. It has been restrung and regulated within the past year. I am asking $14,500. A three-piece transport cover set, dolly, gilded bench, and tuning key are included. The harp is located in Kern County, but I am willing to drive it up to the Bay Area. For additional information, including photos, recordings, and condition report, please contact Peter at [email protected].
For Sale: Lyon & Healy Style 22 Bronze Semi-Grand Pedal Harp. Serial number 2058, built in 1919. A slightly smaller version of the popular Style 23, this Style 22 has the same look of the Style 23 in a more compact form. It is strung in light-gauge gut which make it very responsive and easy to play, and I used it for all my Christmas gigs last season with no issues. Cosmetically it is in fair condition, but mechanically it is sound. It has been restrung and regulated within the past year.
I am asking $9,500. A dust cover and tuning key are included. The harp is located in Kern County, but I am willing to drive it up to the Bay Area. For additional information, including photos, recordings, and condition report, please contact Peter at [email protected].
