The Style 30 by Lyon & Healy Harps is one of the most admired grand concert harps in the Lyon & Healy range, celebrated for its elegant design, powerful voice and exceptional versatility. This stunning example, finished in a luxurious dark walnut, is offered in mint condition and, at 12 years old, has reached a beautiful stage of tonal maturity that only enhances its musical character.
From the first notes, this harp reveals a voice of remarkable richness and sophistication. The sound is warm, full and deeply resonant, with an abundance of harmonic colour that gives every note depth, dimension and life. The bass register is powerful and commanding, the middle register rich and expressive, while the upper register sparkles with clarity and refinement. What makes this instrument particularly special is the way its harmonics bloom throughout the sound, creating a sense of space and richness that fills the room with ease.
Its projection is outstanding. Whether played in an intimate recital setting or a large concert hall, the Style 30 delivers a confident, expansive sound that carries effortlessly without ever becoming harsh. The instrument responds beautifully to the subtlest nuances of touch, allowing the harpist to shape phrases with remarkable control and expressiveness.
The dark walnut finish lends the harp a distinguished and timeless appearance. The depth of the wood grain, combined with Lyon & Healy’s graceful design, creates an instrument of striking visual presence that is equally at home on the concert stage, in the recording studio or in a private collection.
Mechanically, the harp performs exactly as a professional concert instrument should. The pedals operate smoothly and precisely, the action is responsive throughout the range, and the overall playing experience is one of confidence and musical freedom.
This is a grand concert harp that offers the complete package: maturity, warmth, projection, harmonic richness and impeccable condition. For the discerning harpist seeking a professional instrument with both sonic authority and visual elegance, this Style 30 represents an exceptional opportunity.
