We are thrilled to finally unveil this one of a kind Salvi Daphne 40- completely custom, designed, hand-painted, and brought to life by the amazing Laura and Michael Tust

Over the summer, Aysha had a vision to bring this harp to life. Laura and Michael understood the assignment.

From the jasmine creeping along the neck, to the roses and clematis growing up the column to the wisteria hanging from the column, this harp is truly a work of art. Each detail is perfected, unique, and creates an illusion of the harp slowly coming to life. Complete with a menagerie of garden animals and a little lion cub swinging sleepily on the neck, this is one of the most dreamy harps you'll ever see.

California Harp Center is thrilled to offer this unique harp for rent, and so proud to partner with Tust Studios on custom harp designs, and cosmetic restoration.

If you could custom design your own harp, what would you do? Tell us below in the comments!

Four founders. One sign. Zero chill.

We took a break from tuning, purchase orders, re-stringing, and running the California Harp Center showroom to bring main character energy to the storefront to celebrate our new sign. Like our team jackets? 😉

Behind CHC is a team that knows how to work hard, play hard, and drop a beat. Whether you're hunting for your dream lever harp, trading up to a full size pedal harp, or just stopping by to talk all things harp, this is the energy we’ll bring to you every single day.

Congratulations to Caitlin on her new Dusty Strings Instruments FH36S in Cherry! Swipe to see the full lineup of FH models she got to choose from 🪉🪉🪉🪉 🙌 We made a thorough comparison of all four models, even including Vincent providing a blind playing test! We really love helping people choose their harps, and we make sure our customers know every detail about their instrument so they can feel confident in their decision and knowledgeable about their harps.

And if you’re wondering, the FH36S sounds and feels very different in Cherry, Walnut, and Bubinga! Matching the personality of a harp to its new owner is so rewarding 😊

Swipe again to see our recent haul from Dusty Strings that included Caitlin’s new harp 😎
