Salvi
Master craftsmen at the Salvi Harp Workshop, nestled in the hills of the picturesque Italian countryside, take great pride in individually handcrafting each instrument. It is under these craftsmen's watchful eyes, that each harp is built with the strictest quality control standards from only the finest woods.
Spruce is hand-selected from the tone-rich forests of Europe, the same forests from which the world's greatest violins have been produced, and solid White Maple from the lush forests of Upper Michigan is chosen for its stability and resilience. These woods are crafted into an instrument of great beauty, whose very composition is inspired by the music of the harp.
From the magnificent wood inlay on the Arianna to the sculpted column of the Scolpita, Salvi harps has continually departed from the traditional designs of the period, always striving to evolve the art form.
The Classical Harp Academy is a dealer of Salvi harps. All the harps listed on their website can be purchased through us.
