Made in USA - American Flag The Caswell Butterfly 31

The Caswell Butterfly harpCaswell 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).

Close up photo of top of Aldeburgh Pedal HarpDe 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 Caswell Rhiannon HarpThe 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.

Made of the highest-grade Maple, Beech, and Birch plys with Inlaid binding, it rests well on the body, either on its retractable leg or with a guitar strap (when worn as shown it ends up at a great angle and is surprisingly stable). Strong, light, and economical, the Butterfly is a great choice for travelers, students, or healers. Come with "Welcome to Your Caswell Harp" by Chris Caswell.
