A grand concert harp designed for a powerful, beautiful and soft sound. The accuracy of the action gives a swift response to light pedal movements, matching the pedalling requirements of even the most demanding music. The elegant hand carving on natural wood demonstrates the commitment of Aoyama's craftsmen.
