FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answer: The Even Song 26 was purpose-built at the request of music therapists who needed a harp that balances therapeutic functionality with professional sound quality. Key therapeutic design features include:
Portability & Flexibility: At just 11 lbs, therapists can easily transport it between client homes, hospitals, hospice facilities, and care centers. The multiple playing positions (shoulder strap, lap rest, stand-mounted) allow therapists to adapt to any clinical setting—from bedside vigils to group sessions.
Comfortable String Spacing: The 1/2″–9/16″ spacing is slightly narrower than standard harps, making it easier to play in close quarters or non-traditional positions without sacrificing playability.
Soothing Tonal Quality: The warm, resonant voice creates a calming atmosphere that supports therapeutic goals—reducing anxiety, providing comfort, facilitating meditation, and creating sacred space for healing.
Appropriate Range: Three and a half octaves (C–G, 26 strings) provides sufficient range for most therapeutic music repertoire including lullabies, hymns, folk songs, meditation music, and improvisational work, without the complexity of larger instruments.
Accessible Design: The Gothic styling is elegant but not intimidating, helping clients feel comfortable. The harp can be positioned close to patients without overwhelming them physically or acoustically.
Music therapists, hospice workers, hospital musicians, pastoral care providers, and holistic healers find the Even Song perfectly suited to their unique needs.

Answer: The Even Song 26 is absolutely suitable for regular performance—it's a fully capable musical instrument, not just a therapeutic tool. Many players use it for:
Performance Applications:
Intimate concerts and house concerts where warmth and connection matter more than volume
Meditation and yoga classes
Sacred music in worship settings
Personal practice and composition
Folk and traditional music in small venues
Ambient and new age performance
When it excels: Settings where portability, gentle tone, and emotional connection are priorities. The Even Song's voice is perfect for creating contemplative, peaceful atmospheres.
When other harps might be better: Large concert halls requiring maximum projection, Celtic sessions demanding traditional styling, or advanced classical repertoire needing more than 3½ octaves.
