Tennis green harp

[Sid Humphreys]

I’m dying to know, what was up with the Tennis Ball Green harp in Beyonce’s performance at the academy awards? Was hard to get a good clear look at it but think it was a Salzedo harp. Not just that, but all the wood instruments were that color? Were they really painted that color just for that performance?

Hi! I’ve been thinking about this too and I I rewatched the video again and I really think the harp is the harpist’s personal Style 23. The harp didn’t have the very distinct Salzado top or sharp, angled soundboard sides, but I could be wrong. I do think the harp in the video is her own. I think the harp was wrapped with a custom, removeable vinyl (similar to what they use for wrapping cars, which is where they add a plastic/vinyl with printed images or solid colored graphics.) That would explain why the center strip of the harp isn’t green too.

Looks like a 23 to me with a shrink wrap on it.
