Wurlitzer DDX, circa 1914

The DDX was Wurlitzer's top of the line Orchestral Grand harp when they were building the most expensive, and arguably the finest pedal harps in the world.  Very few of these 47-string instruments were made, and they have always been highly prized by their owners.

This harp has a new neck, a new soundboard, and has been re-gilded and re-finished.  Its sound has to be heard to be believed!  It is a warmer timbre than most of the large harps that we do, but the huge dynamic range allows it to project very well indeed.  The first time it was played in public after its restoration an organist said to me "Nice looking harp, but it was so loud that I couldn't always hear the chorus".  The chorus was 60+ excellent singers, and the harpist was responding to the director's signal for "more harp".

This harp will hold its own in any symphony orchestra in the world.  After playing it the Principal Harpist with a major orchestra said "I sure wish I had this harp when we did Mahler 8".  I said that I thought that her harp was ideal for that work, and she replied "That's before I played this one".

This harp comes with a five (5) year guarantee.
