Dusty Harp Pickup (DIY Kit): Professional Amplification for Your Lever Harp

from $310.00

Unlock the full acoustic potential of your instrument with the Dusty Harp Pickup DIY Kit. Designed specifically to overcome the challenge of amplifying long soundboards, this innovative system provides natural, balanced amplification for your lever harp. It's the ideal solution for performers and ensemble players who need to be clearly heard without sacrificing their harp's rich, true tone.

Options:

  • P10 Pickup: Perfect for 24-30 string lever harps such as the Ravenna 26 Lever Harp and Allegro 26 Lever Harp.

  • P20 Pickup: Ideal for most 32-40 string lever harps like the Ravenna 34, Crescendo 34, and Boulevard 34 Lever Harps.

Why Choose the Dusty Harp Pickup?

Unlike single-point pickups, the Dusty Harp Pickup uses multiple, precisely spaced piezo elements to capture a uniform sound across the entire range of the harp—from the full, rich bass to the clear, singing treble. The result is simply the sound of your harp, only bigger and perfectly balanced at any volume.

  • Balanced Amplification: Multiple piezo elements (4 for P20, 3 for P10) are strategically placed along the soundboard to ensure even volume and tone for every note.

  • Discreet & Professional: The system is mounted invisibly inside the soundbox, with a single, easy "plug and play" jack on the back of the harp.

  • Enhanced Value: Adding a high-quality pickup system increases the versatility and market appeal of your instrument.

DIY Installation for Existing Harps

This DIY Harp Pickup kit is perfect for harp owners who are comfortable with tools or plan to have a local instrument repair technician install the system.

Installation Details:

  • Tools Required: You will need a standard ½-inch brad point drill bit (available at most hardware stores) for mounting the jack.

  • Best Results: For the best sound quality and highest volume, the piezo elements are designed to be super-glued to the back of the soundboard as per the detailed instructions and template provided.

  • Flexible Jack Mounting: If you prefer not to drill a hole, you can feed the cable through the bottom soundhole or purchase our optional Jack Clamp for a secure, non-permanent anchor.
