    I am looking for recommendations for lever harps with good sound projection and minimal damping. I have a Lyon and Healy 85 Petite, and a Silhouette, but the desire for a small “portable” acoustic instrument has arisen. Ideally the harp would have 28-34 stings, gut strung, and be no taller than my Silhouette (125cm). Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I would recommend the Salvi Juno. I bought one recently, because I too, wanted a portable small harp. The Juno has a higher tension than most small harps, making it easier to go back and forth between your big harp and small harp. I have a lyon and healy prelude as my main harp, and I find it very easy to go back and forth between the two harps. It projects very nicely as well. I brought it to my harp teacher when I first got it, and she was very impressed with it. She said she thought it was a harp that she could even teach on , as the string tension is so similar to gut

    Take a look at the Caswell Sweetharp

    I also have an 85 P, and Aoyama 140 D, and a Blevins Lyra 22.
