This harp has a totally different construction process, and the shape of the sound box produces a more voluminous sound and tone .The sides and the back panels are all solid wood .The soundboard sits in a groove all the way round . This is a tricky and exact process requiring great attention to detail before glueing takes place.The harp feels the same at the shoulder as it is semi circular like any other harp with a molded back.
