Dusty Strings Ravenna 34

A 34-strings harp with built-in leg

Quality construction meets affordability in the Ravenna 34, a portable, stave-back harp designed for the discerning, cost-conscious harp enthusiast who requires a reliable, full-range instrument with a rich, satisfying sound.

Using the same innovative design and construction techniques (patent pending) as the popular Ravenna 26, the Ravenna 34 offers almost five full octaves of distinctive Dusty Strings sound in a very affordable instrument. It has a warm, strong bass balanced by a bright, clear treble, even string tension for precision while playing, and high-quality materials and refined craftsmanship for lasting value. With an array of available options, the Ravenna 34 invites you to thoroughly enjoy exploring a full-range harp.

 

Features of the Ravenna 34:

  • The Ravenna 34 has 34 strings, 4-¾ octaves, reaching from the C two octaves below Middle C to A 2-¾ octaves above Middle C.
  • The stave-back sound box gives you great playing comfort
  • The sound box is made from a good quality laminated European birch with black ash-grained vinyl veneer. 
  • The soundboard is made from clear finished laminated European birch. 
  • The Neck and Pillar are from solid ash with clear lacquer finish.
  • The built-in leg drops smoothly into place for convenient and adjustable playing support. It lifts the harp to a height that allows comfortable and stable stand-up playing.
  • Also available a Ravenna stand, a base and four legs.
  • The weight is about 8,5 kilo.
  • Harp case and backpack straps are optional.
  • 2-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship
  • The Ravenna 34 is also available in burgundy, green and black.
