However, the narrower string spacing and the pedals being somewhat closer together (the pedal spacing was almost like a Salvi Daphne) really messed me up. It was a harp that was quite petite, decorated some, and some gilding. Here’s what I’m concerned about: I once played on a really old Lyon and Style 12. I’m guessing that with so few strings, it will be shorter than a 15. Anyone on the list familiar with the old 14? It has 43 strings. My student has a chance to rent her first pedal harp (to be picked up in another city, a good drive away), and it’s an old Lyon and Healy 14. However I’m asking here about the Lyon and Healy Style 14.
