Mystery harp, can anyone identify?

[quillsongs]

I recently purchased a used harp I need help identifying who the maker might be. I have listed the pictures. The only markings on it is on the base of it says 447.

This is an old Salvi lever harp. I guess the model is called Renaissance, but I’m not a hundred percent sure. I seem to remember it was built in the seventies of the last century. If you mail to Salvi, they will be able to tell you for sure how the model is called and in which year it was built (if you provide them with the number).

Perhaps it was still current in the first half of the eighties.

Wil, I believe you are correct that this harp is a Salvi Renaissance. I found one for sale on-line and it has this same “look.” The only difference is that the one pictured here has the added brass plate on the lever side of the neck, and the one I saw for sale does not.

Have a great day!
