I have multiple harps from which you may choose, based the style or appearance you prefer, the type of music you would like me to play, and availability of electricity/logistical considerations. All of my harps were built in the United States.
Venus Penti Pedal Harp
This harp has a modern design and a matte ebony finish. All music on the repertoire list can be played on this harp. Made by W&W Musical Instrument Company in Chicago, this harp is nearly six feet tall and has 46 strings. It was built in 2007. This is the harp on which I most frequently perform and use for recital, orchestral, and chamber music performances.
Venus Encore Pedal Harp
A 46-string pedal harp made by W&W Musical Instrument Company in Chicago, this harp is just over six feet tall. It has a natural maple finish with gold accents. All music on the repertoire list can be played on this harp.
Lyon & Healy Silhouette Electric Harp
The ultimate modern harp, this silver, 33-string Lyon & Healy Silhouette can be played in place with the harp on a stand, or on a specially-designed strap allowing me to move around your venue and among your guests while playing. Perfect for when you want something entirely unexpected!
All music on the repertoire list marked with a “+” can be played on this harp. This harp is fully electric with wired or wireless amplification; a reliable power source must be available at your venue. This harp can fly anywhere in the world for destination weddings.
Heartland Infinity Carbon-Fiber Lever Harp
This harp was built in North Carolina in 2022 by Dave Woodward, and can go anywhere! Because it is made of carbon fiber instead of wood, it isn’t affected by the weather, temperature, or humidity. Its beautiful gold color fits in perfectly with any venue and color scheme, and it has a built-in pick-up for amplification.
I use this harp for beach weddings, for outdoor weddings when the weather precludes using a wood harp, and for destination weddings that require a flight or have difficult access (pedal harps require being pushed in a cart; this harp can be carried).
BlevinSong 36 Lever Harp
This harp is the most portable of all the instruments, and is used for providing music at beach weddings or other venues that are difficult to access with the larger harps. All music marked with a “+” on the repertoire list can be performed on this harp.
It has 36 strings and was built by Dwight Blevins in Colorado. Standing about 4 and 1/2 feet tall, it has a natural maple finish and the appearance of a traditional Celtic / Irish harp.
Lyon & Healy Troubadour Lever Harp
This harp was built in Chicago, Illinois, has a matte ebony finish, 36 strings, and stands approximately 5 and 1/2 feet tall. All music marked with a “+” on the repertoire list can be performed on this harp.
“Hi Devon! I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you from Jon and I for your beautiful music at our wedding. You did an amazing job, and I can’t thank you enough for playing our song during the ceremony. It could not have been more perfect. We had many compliments on how amazing the music was, and how nice it was to sit outside and listen. It meant the world to us!”
“I wanted to say thank you so much for making our day extra special with your beautiful music. Everything was so beautiful and personal and the guests loved the ambiance that you helped create.”
“Thank you so so much for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. I am forever appreciative. It was the best day of our lives!! I’m obsessing over everything still and wishing I could start the day over!”
“I would recommend Devon to anyone looking for music for their event. She played at our wedding. She was responsive and worked with us to ensure our music was perfect. She was very kind and I even picked songs that were not part of her main list. She showed up ahead of time and I knew I could depend on her. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable!! Numerous of our guests also commented on how lovely of a touch the harpist was to our ceremony.”
“Thank you for coming to play for my granddaughter’s wedding. The music was absolutely beautiful.”
“I wanted to thank you again for playing for our first Brown Bag this Advent. I was the most peaceful concert I have attended. I loved your selections, you played some of my favorite carols. It was just a beautiful concert in a lovely venue. Thank you again.”
