The Raphael 26 Therapy Harp (formerly Elisha 26) is designed specifically for the work of bringing healing harp music to those in hospitals and nursing homes, and for vigils at the bedside of the dying. It has a warm, resonant tone but is not overpowering when used in a close setting with a patient. It is lightweight (7-8 lbs) and can easily be transported, an important consideration for the harpist. The neck reinforcement is added for both strength and to give the harp a sculptural feel, adding to its soft curves and rounded edges. The lowest note is C below Middle C and the lowest two strings are wound nylon. The harp is sold with a case and Truitt levers on Cs and Fs. Because it is large for a lap harp we offer an adjustable hardwood bar that secures in one of the back openings and rests across the thighs. NOTE: The Raphael 26 is not guaranteed to fit in the overhead compartment of an airplane.
