What is the Difference Between Reverie Harps?
Detailed description of the difference between the different Reverie Harp models.
We carry three kinds of finished Reverie Harps, and one Reverie Harp Kit. If you're wondering what the difference is between Reverie Harps, we've put together some information to help you compare them.
The Classic Reverie Harp and the Reverie Harp 2 Deluxe are built with the same woods. The only real difference between these two models is the shape. Both models feature solid cherry sides and a solid mahogany soundboard. The solid mahogany soundboard gives these models a deep, rich tone and they will both sound better than the Economy Reverie 2.
The Reverie Harp 2 Economy is our less-expensive model. We use poplar sides and a plywood baltic birch soundboard. Using a plywood for the soundboard means we save money in materials and labor. The plywood top does not provide as rich of a tone as the solid mahogany soundboards on the Reverie Classic and the Reverie 2 Deluxe. However, keep in mind, that this is only noticeable during a side by side comparison. The Reverie 2 still has a full and rich sound and is used and loved by many!
For example, we made a video featuring the two Reverie Harps side by side:
