The
Caswell Butterfly 31
Caswell
Harps are made by Chris Caswell Harp Maker in the USA These harps
are the culmination of over thirty years of harp making. They represent
both the traditional and the innovative.
De La Cour Sharping Levers are a new lever from France. Caswell Harps is the first to use these fine cam-style flip-up levers. They capture the string in a manner similar to pedal harps, by rotating a pair of pins into the string. This leaves the string in its original alignment (an innovation by one of my heroes, Sebastian Erard).

The
first of Chris's Hybrid Series, the Butterfly plays like
a much larger Celtic harp. This is because it's built around
his Dynamic Tension Balancing which allows the soundboard
to speak much more freely. The result is a small harp that
has tone qualities of a larger harp–a certain richness
and presence. It features Celtic-style strings with Classic
spacing.
