Well, generally, denser woods have a brighter tone, other things being equal. I think the color of purpleheart tends to fade to a muddy purple in time, but I wouldn’t swear to it.
Cassie, I have an old Troubadour I, and it has a pretty good sound. It also has the original soundboard and the original levers, which I hate. But it was completely restrung and regulated a few months ago. What I’m saying is that the levers may no longer give you an accurate semitone. You should check that with an electronic tuner or have a buddy with perfect pitch check it out.
In addition to 33 strings and full levers, it is nice to have a genuine floor harp that doesn’t require some sort of gimmick or stand or special chair for you to play it.
That really is a lovely harp, and I am very interested to hear that you like it particularly for the guitar and lute repertoire. I play guitar and lute repertoire on guitar, or at least I did back when, and it is nice to hear these familiar pieces on the harp.
What a gorgeous harp! The pinky note would probably be played by thumb on guitar. On the harp you don’t have that option.
