We offer two different carrying cases, made by Cronkhite Case and Cavallaro Case Company. Both cases have
full zipper openings, have all the straps, handles and pockets you need and are waterproof. They will protect
your harp from scratches and bumps that happen during transport, as well as insulating your harp from rapid
temperature changes. Prices for the cases are listed on the individual harp pages.
The Cronkhite cases, pictured on the left above, have a very heavy duty nylon outer shell, 1/2" foam mid-liner,
and a soft fabric inner liner. The straps are leather and nylon, and there's a padded flap under the zipper to
protect the harp from the zipper. The Cronkhite case for the Serenity model comes with backpack straps, shown
above. These are very heavy-duty cases that almost feel like a piece of luggage. Available in forest green.
The Cavallaro cases, pictured on the right above, are made with a thinner outer shell and wooly fleece lining
inside, creating a case that will protect your harp but is also flexible enough to roll up when not in use. Available
in black.
The Cronkhite case is included in the price of the Sylvan and DragonHeart. The Cavallaro case is included in the price of the standard Serenity, and a Cronkhite case is included in the price of the deluxe Serenity. The Dreamweaver comes with an excellent padded case. An upgrade to a Cronkhite case is available if desired.
We offer the Korg CA30 tuner, which works well with the harp. We supply it with a small clip pickup, so you
can tune your harp even in a noisy room. Each string will be registered, along with an indication of how 'in
tune' it is. Simply turn the tuning pin, using your tuning wrench, until the Korg CA30 tuner indicates that your
harp is in tune.
Korg CA30 Electronic tuner w/pickup: $35
With the Sylvan and DragonHeart, you have the option of wheels. This wheel base can be used in two ways:
- you can slide it in the pocket at the bottom of your case, so that
your wheeled case moves easily, even up and
down stairs, or
- you can put the wheel base on the bottom of your uncased harp, if you'd like to move it easily
from room to room in your home.
Wheel unit: $100
You will need to change the strings on your harp every year and a half, or two years. Also, very occasionally, a
string will break. It's nice to have a spare string to put on immediately, and since your strings don't age in the
bag, when you're ready to replace your strings, just order another spare set, and put your spare on your harp.
We're happy to provide spare string sets with new orders - if you already own your Heartland Harp, call Vermont Strings to re-order at 802-244-8564.
We can install a Fishman pickup in your harp. This enables you to plug your harp into most amplifiers or amplification systems without using a microphone. Being amplified couldn't be easier!
Fishman pickup installed: $100
