Fine Wood Veneers

Each harp comes with one of these soundboard veneers on its core. Depending on the harp model, the core material is either made of spruce or baltic birch for the nylon harps and usually cherry hardwood for the wire harps.

No matter what the inside of the soundboard is made out of, each harp has a hardwood veneer that we hand cut. When we cut the boards to make your harp, we use the best wood we can find and use this same wood for your soundboard veneer so it will match completely, all around the harp.

The harps that are shown here have matching soundboards, many people opt for the contrasting maple soundboards which you can see more of when looking at the specific harp models.
