Materials and Craftsmanship

Each harp is shaped, assembled, finished, and inspected by hand.

  • Body: Walnut or cherry
  • Top and back: Birch
  • Anchor pins: Brass
  • Tuning pins: Steel
  • Strings: Steel or silver-wound nylon
  • Tuning key: Brass
  • Finish: Caleb’s signature shellac finish

The traditional shellac finish protects the instrument while highlighting the natural depth, figure, and character of the wood.

Choose Your String Sound

Steel strings provide a clear, bright, projecting tone with a crisp response.

Silver-wound nylon strings offer a softer, warmer sound and a gentler feel beneath the fingers.

Tuning

Our recommended simple tuning is:

A – B – C – D – E – F – G – A – B – C

The harp may also be tuned to a variety of pentatonic and diatonic scales, allowing you to explore different musical moods and playing styles.

Optional Accessories

Custom-Fit Leather Case

The optional case is made from genuine leather and designed specifically to protect your David’s Harp during travel or storage. Its soft interior helps protect the instrument’s finish, while the three-sided metal zipper makes it easier to place the harp inside without scratching it.

A leather shoulder strap makes carrying more comfortable. Available leather colors commonly include gray, dark gray, tan, brown, and black. Because leather availability changes, the exact color cannot be selected, but the Evergreen team will choose a color that complements your harp.

Matching Wood Display Stand

The optional handmade stand is designed to complement the David’s Harp and safely hold it upright on a shelf, table, prayer-room surface, or display area when it is not being played.

Made-to-Order Lead Time

Current estimated lead time: Ships within 1–2 months.

Every David’s Harp is individually handcrafted. Natural variations in wood grain, coloring, and figure are part of the instrument’s beauty and are not considered defects.
