- Thormahlen Harps
- In a home workshop in Corvallis, Oregon, Dave and Sharon Thormahlen consistently produces some of the world's finest lever harps. Extensive experience working with classical and folk musicians from the novice to the professional player has led them to three current harp designs; The Swan, The Cygnet and The Serenade. All Thormahlen harps are designed for even string tension and concert spacing (the same string spacing found on most pedal harps). The medium string tension produces a full, rich tone that is balanced throughout the range of the harp, resulting in a harp that is responsive and inspirational to the player. It takes about 6 weeks to build a harp from start to finish.
