The Instrument Makers
West Coast Harps only imports harps from premier North American harpmakers. Our chosen makers provide consistent workmanship, quality materials and innovative design. Importing harps is a major undertaking and trusting our harp suppliers to be professional with good quality control is very important for us. We choose select models from each maker that we believe offer the best value. Or more simply said "We only stock harps that Alison enjoys playing".
Our stock of new harps is best characterised as pleasant sounding, very playable and of good value for their respective price points. Check out our pitch about the benefits of purchasing in Canada through West Coast Harps.
West Coast Harps now selectively stocks or custom orders Dusty Strings hammered dulcimers. These are premier instruments from one of North America's finest builders.

About Dusty Strings Instruments
Dusty Strings is one of the premier instrument-building companies
in the USA and for good reason! Their top of the line harp models,
the FH36B and FH36S are skillfully designed with beauty,
function and sound all a top priority. Exceptionally finished
from selected hardwoods with spruce/mahogany soundboards,
and string spacing that is "concert" and of medium
tension. The Ravenna 26 and 34 are newer models introduced
for affordability and transportability. The Ravennas have significantly reduced the price of owning a harp without sacrificing quality. They are compact,
extremely well-constructed, durable, attractive and "show
off" with a big voice and a bright even tone throughout. Available
with partial or full levers [Economy versus Deluxe models] and
in a variety of finishes.
