March of the Harps (Part 3 of 3)

This 3-part tour of the Lyon & Healy Harp factory in Chicago exhibits its 120 years of harpmaking experience. Each hand-crafted pedal and lever harp is instilled with a legacy of superior woodcrafting and commitment to the development of the instrument. Join harpist Lavinia Meijer as she tours the factory to see the building of a mechanism and soundboard, plus hand-carving, gilding, pedaling, the showroom and more.

Wish you guys would bring back the Shamrock and the Lyric lever harp models. I have a Chicago 40 but would love to have a Shamrock as well.

I just love this series. The videos were put together really well, nice production & editing. Lavinia Meijer is so charming and talented; I loved watching her do this tour. Thank you, L&H! Well done!

i cant wait until i get my lyon and healy style 85 CG. by the way that was realy interresting to learn about my prelude. thanks.

[@organist1982]

Did you ever get your style 85 CG? How do you like it? I'm mainly an organist and pianist, but I have a Troubadour V that I'm learning to play, and I'd like to eventually own a pedal harp, and the 85 CG is what I'm thinking about starting with, maybe with the ebony finish.

I Wish a Chicago Concertino CG Extended one day...

Beautiful. Lovely Harps. Are these available in India. Please let me know know if you have an agent in India for me to buy one. Need pricing information.

You can have it shipped from either Europe or Hong Kong.

[@juanitoriveros692]

Does anyone know the name of the modern piece she played?

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

It was a freak show, so best not to know.

[@Uktrayf]
