Camac Levers
The Camac Harp Company of Brittany, France, has developed a very high quality nickel-plated lever that is becoming popular with many harp makers & players. The precision engineering of this lever is amazing, and the comfortable handle flips up smoothly and positively, locking the string in place. The 'C' & 'F' handles are coloured correspondingly with little shrink-wrapped bands. What people like about this system is that there is no loss of tone quality with the lever engaged, nor much displacement of the string.
Tuning Pins and Bridge Pins
The tuning pins and adjustable bridge pins are custom-made for me by Argent Fox Harps, of Indiana.
Hand Rubbed Finish
I'm currently offering a modern, durable, hand-rubbed finish that brings out the beauty of the wood while offering superior protection.
Generally, the process starts with the application of shellac sealer. I then spray on a number of coats of waterborne acrylic finish, and once that cures, hand rub the finish to a satin sheen. This finish provides a professional, hard, optically clear coating that will rival any other finish out there today.
