    As I understand it, Camac harps were modeled to some extent after the old Erards and therefore allowed for more space in the highest octave.

    Camac seems to have the most room in the upper register. The Aoyama “Princess Sakura” has lower-than-usual string tension, and I have a 1912 L&H with very low string tension and lever gut strings. It has a beautiful, full, rich sound. Definitely not tinny or weak.

    Carl Swanson builds extra space into his upper register if you are able to find a used Swanson pedal harp. His semi-guilded Empire has always been my favorite harp.
