Welcome to the Desert Rose.
The Desert Rose is a design concept quite different from any other on the market. It is built on the same frame as our other 'harps, and has our d'Aigle fine tuners and light action mylar spring system. It plays fast and quiet like our other models.
The top and back are instrument grade Okume ply, made in France. The frame and exposed edge are maple pin block. This coupled with innovative acoustic bracing have produced an autoharp which has exceeded our expectations.
The Desert Rose is an affordable autoharp with everything you expect from a much more expensive instrument.
We introduced the Desert Rose at the 2006 Willamette Valley Autoharp gathering, where it received rave revues from performers and attendees.
The sound of this autoharp is guaranteed to blow your socks off, and we believe the Desert Rose to be the best value by far in this price range.
