Lyon and Healy Drake 34 String Harp
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
The Drake features a strong maple frame with an Okoume soundboard, the same quality woods used in all Salvi harps.
-
The Drake is an excellent harp for all levels. The "student" vs. "professional" distinction is misleading—each model simply offers different features and tones. Professional players often choose "student" models for specific applications.
-
The Drake has a lighter, thinner tone compared to high-tension harps, with a stronger, more outbound sound than similar models like the Salvi Mia.
-
The Drake is slightly larger with a more outbound, stronger tone. The Mia is slightly smaller with a sweeter but less projecting voice.
-
Choose the Drake for a slightly larger sound and more projection; choose the Mia for a sweeter tone in a more compact size. Both are loved by players of all levels.
-
Yes, both harps are made with the same quality materials and craftsmanship. The differences are in size and tonal characteristics, not quality.
