just added a few more pictures to show there are no magic tricks, only hand tools and elbow-grease to do the job right ! This harp is sycamore and going to Italy.The darker one is walnut(USA) a bit of carving to be done , finishing with the star-punch. Slow job , but looks great when done . All finished ! this harp has levers on all strings as requested by the client, looks nice with the full range.
