Serrana 34 Lever Harp
A Latin American style harp with a worldwide appeal.
The Serrana 34 lever harp by Dusty Strings is based on their much-loved Ravenna 34.The Serrana 34 features a new, strong and lightweight carbon fibre pillar, along with the narrow string spacing and light string tension traditional in Latin American harps. It has a big and responsive sound across its 34-string range, yet weighs only 8.8kg. Two built-in extendable legs increase in handy 5cm increments.
Mariachi is a form of folk music from Mexico that has become popular with school music programmes in the USA. Dusty Strings intended that the Serrana 34 would provide a reliable, affordable Mariachi harp for these programmes. However, soon Celtic harp players began to express an interest in the prototypes and Dusty Strings realised that the Serrana 34 had a much wider appeal than the Mariachi style harp they had originally conceived. Harpists were excited to know of a full-voiced harp that would be ideal for young students with small hands and for established players who prefer light string tension with narrow string spacing.

Internal Mounted Pick Up System
Using four carefully placed piezo pickup elements connected to a central rod, the Dusty Harp Pickup achieves a clean, focused, natural and lush sound. The pickup is discreetly mounted inside the soundbox of the harp, invisible to the audience. A single jack mounted on the back of the harp connects straight into a guitar amp or PA, making for true plug and play ease of use. The Internal Pick Up can be supplied pre-fitted, or can be retro-fitted. As of August 2012 all new Ravenna harps come with a pre-drilled, capped hole on the lower back of the harp, making it simple to retro-fit a pick-up, if desired.
