Dusty Strings Lever Harp

Dusty Strings is a renowned American manufacturer of folk harps and hammered dulcimers. Founded in 1979 in Seattle, Washington, the company began as a small operation in a basement and has since grown into one of the world's leading producers of high-quality lever harps.

Each instrument is handcrafted in their Seattle workshop using premium tonewoods. The brand is particularly famous for its 'FH' (figured hardwood) and 'Crescendo' series, which are favored by both students and professional harpists for their warm, resonant sound and reliable mechanical design.

Ownership remains private and independent, rooted in the original founders' commitment to craftsmanship and the folk music community. Their instruments are distributed worldwide through specialized music retailers and are a staple in the Australian folk music scene.
