A Stage IIII Cambria 34 string Harp Kit, nearly finished !:-)

This is one of our Cambria Harp Kits that I am assembling in a Stage IIII version, as a totally finished harp. It will be finished with a full set of Camac sharping levers.( We have three choices of sharping levers as an option with these harp kits) This footage shows this harp in the stage of construction that nearly matches our Stage III kit, with the sound box almost finished, and the neck and pillar ready to be joined together.In the Stage III kit, all the hardware holes are pre-drilled and tested, with just two places left to glue, the neck pillar joint, and the feet assembly. This pictured harp is being built with the optional Spruce sound board, made from 20 year air-dried Engelmann Spruce. The standard option is for a Baltic Birch sound board. The entire rest of this harp is constructed form all solid Cherry wood. I will post a video of this harp being played, when it is
finished.

Hi Johnny

I taught myself at first, but then I studied at 'The Violin Making School of America', in Salt Lake City UT. They have a three year program in teaching amazing skills i building musical instruments, violins, violas, and cellos. What I learned there I applied to my harp building. For general luthier,( musical instrunent building skills) there is still a school in Phoenix AZ, I believe. I suggest a Google search for Luthier Schools. Good Luck in your quest ! :-)
