Have you camped with YOUR harp lately? (Pictured is Vivian, her faithful companion, and her other faithful companion (Blevins Eden 29 harp.)
"My lovely harp arrived today! (Cameo 26 in red-flamed box elder) I have tuned it up and could not wait to start playing it. You are right - it sounds very lively, but beautiful. I unpacked it at Mum's and tuned it there so they could hear it. They loved it. It is just beautiful (I know I already said that) but it is all I had hoped for. Thankyou so much. And now back to my harp." Susan R, Australia
"I finally have the strings tuned up and the Amadeus 38 is WONDERFUL!!! Great sound, beautifully crafted and the perfect mahogany color!!! Awesome job on this harp!!" Linda O

"Here am I, happy with my lap harp (Avanta 26), which arrived yesterday.Everything is fine, I unpacked this afternoon and start tuning...I really enjoy the comfort of the specific "leg cut". The harp will go to Dinan et Lauterbach festivals with me and I will be happy to mention the very patient and friendly way to treat clients at Blevin's for whoever might show interest. I look forward to discovering your music books and thank you once more very much for your kindness and good service. Best regards," Barbara (France)
"In March of this year I purchased a beautiful little Cameo in spalted poplar. This has served me well as my practice / travel harp and each time I play it I admire it's quality and beauty. Many people (at Somerset 2009) admired the sound and appearance of this instrument. Thanks again for a lovely harp!" Patricia C
"She has arrived (Bella 28) and just as beautiful and wonderful sounding as I had hoped for. To say I am pleased would be understated. Thank you so much and you'll hear from me again. I'm working out the details for a double strung LOL. Please tell Dwight for me that I am extremely happy with this BIG sounding little harp!" Robynn G, PA
"Dear Cindy and Dwight - I received my Meadowind 34 safely. It is truly very beautiful and the workmanship is outstanding. We have been tuning and tuning and it sounds lovely. Thank you very much for your help in guiding me in making a selection and encouraging me to start work on this lifelong dream. All of your efforts are greatly appreciated. It's wonderful to know that such a fine product and great service are still available in the U.S.A. Thanks again for everything." Linda F
"Hi Cindy. The harp is here!! (Eden 26) As promised, it's quite beautiful. The tone is very warm and resonant--just what I was looking for in a lap harp. I really do love it!" Brook B
"I wanted to let you know I received my harp yesterday in perfect condition! (Eden 26 in cherry wood) ... I am quite impressed with the sound. It is rich and warm especially in the bass, which was quite unexpected! The string tension is also unexpectedly comfortable, not too light compared to my pedal harp. Thank you for everything, you are wonderful to do business with!" Sharon M
"I think I've got her convinced to go with a Blevins, especially after putting my Dulce in her hands! :) You're most welcome for the referrals. I'm happy to make them. Its the least I can do in return for awesome harps and great service!" Deborah B, NC
"Just letting you know that my harp arrived yesterday. I was totally blown away, what a beautiful instrument; and so unique. I can't believe she was discounted because to me, she is perfect. In fact, I think the differing wood adds character. She sounds gorgeous, wonderful, brilliant, awesome... and any other adjectives that could describe something so good. Thank you for all your help." Judith U, UK
"Hello, the harp arrived save and sound yesterday (in Japan.) I absolutely love the looks and the sound of it. Thank you very much for being so helpful and giving me a lot of advice on the harp." Yoko, Japan
"I'm really enjoying playing the new Riversong! It's the best sounding folk harp I've played! I'm also really having fun with your Feast of Favorites 3- it's just a blast to play those Stephen Foster pieces." MJ, CO (who purchased the prototype RiverSong 36.)
"So, I wanted to mention - again - that I am so grateful to you for the attention to detail you both invest. Every day, I'm more delighted with my Eden and the music I have found to play on it. Even the packaging was terrific. Really - the harp's quality, voice and value are truly outstanding. When I play, I feel a bit like I'm on vacation. So, thanks so much for just being you." Nancy H
"Dear Cindy, The Harp is here! The Harp is here! How beautiful it sounds! Have not had a chance to tune it yet, but its sound is rich and full and amazing! All is gorgeous, from Harp to strap to stand. Truly beautiful in every way. I am thrilled. I will let you know more in a day or two, for now am going to tune before next student arrives. Many thanks to you and Dwight and all involved in this beautiful Eden. I have never heard such sonorous beauty from a harp so small. Truly a minstrel's Harp! Delightedly, Patricia."
"Hi Dwight and Cindy - the Avee came this afternoon...it's even prettier than the photo on your website and as I have been tuning it, the tone is even better than I could have hoped. Thank you for all of your patient answers to my questions, our phone conference, and your workmanship." Sherry L, NJ, Satisfied Customer
"It's here, it's beautiful! My husband (also) is very impressed with the sound, and I keep catching him plucking at it when he thinks I'm not looking." Joan K, Canada (about her new Consort 34 harp)
"It's here, and it is fantastic! I LOVE IT!!!......She is smaller than I expected and so lovely to hold, but she has such a big, bright voice. The red streaks in the wood are stunning. I am absolutely enchanted!.Leigh, OR) (about her new Cameo 26 in red flamed box elder ) (See "Special Woods Special Harps.")
Here is what one Marie 24 owner wrote us about her harp made out of rainbow poplar wood: "Not only is she etherial to look upon but she sounds incredible....and...she is lighter than I am used to! Thank you many times over for your attention to detail and for coming up with exactly the right harp for me. It has been a pleasure to work with you. I hope some day to meet you and your gifted wife, Cindy. Sincerely yours, a very proud owner of a Blevins Marie." Mary Anne, NJ

"Thank you thank you thank you! I received my BlevinSong 36...it arrived perfectly and the sound is unbelievable,even now before really breaking it in! I cannot get over it - full, rich and the string tension feels just right. I am in love with this harp. Thanks to you and Cindy for making this such a pleasant experience! I thought I might be nuts for buying this over the Internet, but I would do it again. It's absolutely beautiful!" Darcie S, GA
"The harp arrived today in perfect condition. I am very impressed by the quality of workmanship that has gone into the making of the MeadoWind and by the ease of which she can be transported. Terrific value for the money. I think she will be perfect for therapeutic music work. Thank you so much." Dana K
"Cindy, my lovely harp arrived yesterday! Thanks so much for helping select such a wonderful instrument (Blevins Consort), tell Dwight thanks for adding the feet. They truly do make a difference! .... after talking to you on the phone the day you helped me make my decision, I will feel very comfortable asking you ANYTHING!" Karen M
"Dwight, I wanted to thank both you and Cindy in helping me make my harp selection (Serafym 36,) for answering all of my questions, ....(playing harps)..over the phone, and for building such a beautiful sounding, and looking harp! Your help with my novice questions was also very helpful. My instructor is very impressed with the excellent quality and sound.....I am very impressed with the quality and service that your company provides. THANK YOU!" Nancy M, TN

"Just writing to share how much joy my Bourree has brought into the lives of family and friends. The beautiful Blevins harp is such a huge blessing. I still marvel at its enormous sound." Karen, CA
(about a Consort 34) "... I just wanted to remark that the instrument is beautiful..... The joinery and finish, in particular, is very smooth and silky. Quality wise, it is hard to tell yours from a more expensive instrument like (can't say it here) anymore. These instruments are works of art. Cliff S, Nova Scotia
"The Bourree arrived brilliantly packaged this morning, safe and sound.....What a beautiful presence she is in the house, so luminous, with an exquisite cherrywood grain. Her sweet mellow tone fills all the rooms with warmth. I also opened Cindy's "Interactive Harp" book immediately. The lessons are so clear and easy to follow that I already feel as though I'm a harpist!" Karen L
"I....tell you how very much I love my Consort 36 harp. She's so beautiful...the cherry is such a warm and inviting wood...and the sound I am able to get from the strings is rich and deep. The advice you gave me to have the feet added was exactly right - I feel very comfortable sitting at my harp. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you took in helping me pick her out. I was nervous about buying a harp "sight unseen" but it was exactly the right choice for me." Nancy B
"Hi Dwight, Let me take just a moment of your time to thank you for the fine harp you built for Mary Kate. When she was playing it last Sunday I caught myself marveling at its tonal quality and deep resonance. Keep up the great work! Wayne J, FL"
"Hello. Just had to write and let y'all know how much I adore my new MeadoWind 36! Not only is it beautiful to look at, but the sound is gorgeous and the weight/size is perfect. What a fabulous harp to take around to all my gigs. Thanks for such a fantastic design. Another job well done. I'm certainly a die-hard Blevins harp fan. :)" Deborah B.
"THE HARP (Aspen 27) CAME AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it, love it, love it and it is easier to hold than I thought it would be. It is wonderful, and I can tell it will have a great sound once it's broken in and I'm looking forward to that very much. Such a snazzy design and comfortable too. I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!! My (Aspen) harp is absolutely beautiful and it has exceeded my expectations. I'm thoroughly delighted with it!!!" Karin B, MO
"She (new MeadoWind 36) arrived in perfect condition...I played her for hours. She is like a little jewel, with a sweet, clear voice and responsive touch. I can hardly believe how lightweight she is. I look forward very much to using her in bedside work; she's so easy to transport. You were right - I am just delighted." JoAnne C
"My Consort 36 that I received on February 2 (2007) has such a wonderful voice! It just gets better and better. Thank you so much!" Karen G, NY
"I really enjoy my Encore. The tone is superb: warm, with good sustain and good volume. It seems to be perfect for accompanying my voice....this harp is my main harp and best buddy!" Mary L
"Just a quick note to let you know that I love my Consort! I have found a harp teacher (yay)... and she loves my Consort as well. I have learned so much in the last 3 weeks. Your books are also a huge help and I've been practicing a lot. Thanks again to you both for your help and for such a quality and beautiful instrument! It's the best!" Karen IN
"Hello and greetings from Germany! I just would like to thank you for quality and sound of one of your harps - a Cynde 30...which I bought in 2006 at Glissando (our harp dealer in Germany). Although I went there to buy another (much cheaper, second hand) harp, your harp was love at first sight and seemed superior in sound and feel compared to all their many other harps. I play every single day with joy on this harp, and want to give my compliments from beyond the ocean." Chrys J, Germany
"Hi Dwight, ......And by the way, my little harp (the Eden 26) is soooooooo wonderful! Everyone raves over its magical sound, and even two people with .... pedal harps have raved over how wonderful it sounds! What an awesome harp. I'm so glad I bought it." Tammy S
"My teacher recommends your harps to her students. She said they are well made and have a beautiful sound. Because I really wanted a nice, mellow sound, I decided on the Consort." Laura C
"Just wanted to let you know that I am having a ball with my Bourree. I've made it part of my regular background music act, and people are just fascinated by a harp that can be worn on a sling. For such a small harp, it has a remarkably big sound. Kids really like to see it sitting on its stand...it's not as intimidating as the concert pedal harp, so they're more relaxed touching it while it is securely seated." Cathy H
"...Blevins Harps, i.e. you and Dwight are all over the net in harpers' comments and advice about high quality harps, great workmanship and total honesty and integrity. Which I have now seen first hand." Becky S, NE
"...(at a harp workshop)..over 30 fellow harpers were in attendance. I lost count on how many folks came to me to share their comments that they felt my Espre 36 Walnut had the richest tone and the best sound of many of the harps in the room. They also remarked about the beautiful finish. They repeatedly stated how they had heard that Blevins was a wonderful shop to deal with..others also complimented you on your incredible professionalism and sincere interest in their harp musicianship. As for me, I am very happy with my harp and look forward to many years of performance (with it). Mary R, NY
"I received the Bourree harp yesterday. It was very well packed and undamaged. The overall appearance and craftsmanship is grand, and the sound is bright. For a small harp, it resonates well and has a large sound. I can not wait to routinely play it." Charles I, NY
"I purchased my first harp, a Blevins Espre 36, some two years ago, and was very pleased with the sound and its quality. At different musical gatherings, harp professionals...were surprised at its powerful and beautiful voice. Since purchased two years ago, the harp has been transported on numerous occasions and at times handled roughly. The harp has endured with remarkable resiliency and still plays exceptionally well. At times I have called Mr. Blevins for help on regulating and keeping the harp in good condition. He has always responded with quick, insightful and accurate help, as if I were his best customer. Thank you, Dwight Blevins." David B, MA
"The maple Consort 36 is wonderful! It is going to be perfect for teaching my lever harp students and/or renting to students. I wish you could have seen the look on Emma's face when she had her first lesson on her figured maple Encore 34. I can see that she is enjoying her new harp as well. Towards both myself and my student and her family, you have been so kind, prompt in your responses, honest, knowledgeable, and helpful during every steop of the harp buying adventure. I will continue to recommend your harps to students - especially those students who do not have tons of money to spend on a harp. Your harps are amazing instruments for such an affordable price, and I won't hesitate to buy another harp from you." Kela, TX
"Every time I perform on stage with my Blevins Mezzo 23, people always come up to me afterward and remark on how wonderful this little harp sounds, and always want to know who made it - thank you for a great little harp!" Tina L, FL
"I have to say again how pleased I am with your harps. I loved my Mezzo and I love this one too (Bourree) The sound is so good - I get a lot of comments from people about how beautiful the sound is, especially considering the size of the harp. And its looks are very elegant - the best of any harp this size, in my opinion. I'm very very happy with how the Bourree is performing in doing therapeutic music. Thanks again for a wonderful instrument." Dana, WA
"I've been intending to write you to let you know how well the Brio worked for all of my European travels. It handled being stashed in the overhead on planes and on trains and withstood lots of pressure, humidity and temperature changes." Sylvia, CO
"When I first started learning to play the harp, I was trying to learn on a harp which was given to me as a gift from my husband. I tried to play this lever harp for about five months with barely any success. I just couldn't get my fingers to work on the strings because the spacing seemed so close. The sound quality on this harp wasn't very rich. So when I had a chance to purchase a Blevins harp I didn't hesitate. I love my 34 string Encore harp made of beautiful mahogany wood. I was able to accelerate my learning pace with the new Blevins harp. I've had this harp for almost three years now and I wouldn't trade my Encore for anything else! Thanks for making a quality product that can stand the test of time." MJ, CO
"I own two Blevins harps because I think they are just wonderful! I have seen and heard many different harps and the rich warm tones of the Blevins are very pleasing to the ear. They are lighter than other harps, which is also nice. Dwight and Cindy are extremely helpful and will bend over backwards to help you get just the harp you want." Rebecca L, TN
"My Blevins harp is an amazing amount of harp for the money. Not only that, but every one of the other harp students I've met (same teacher) also have Blevins harps. You can't beat the quality and the sound for the money." Holly D, MD
"I am very much in agreement with everyone else. My five Blevins Encores are working out very well as rental harps and I appreciate Dwight's working with me to select suitable instruments." Evelyn Castiglioni, Eternna Folk Strings, TX
"I ALSO endorse Blevins harps. Dwight and his wife are SO helpful! I bought a prototype for the Prism 36. It's GORGEOUS! I think his harps also seem to have a warmer sound than others. Don't be fooled! The Blevins harp sounds wonderful and projects REALLY well! Go! Buy! And enjoy it completely! Meghan C, IL
"...your gorgeous harp arrived today safe and sound...I just wanted to thank you for such a fabulous creation. I'll take excellent care of it and make beautiful music for the many brides (and others) that I play for. Thank you." Susan L.
"...(during Hurricane Jeanne) my precous Blevins Encore did not get evacuated...(after days) of being in its case, with no air conditioning, and it is humid here...there were no broken strings and no wood damage or problems. Just wanted to thank you for making such a great instrument." Connie B, FL
"Dwight, I spent many months researching harps when I decided to upgrade from my beginner's harp. I read much on the internet about your reputation for quality craftsmanship and friendly customer service and I have to wholeheartedly agree with their recommendations. I considered a couple of different harp makers and I must say that I'm very happy with my decision to purchase a Blevins!" Cindy S, IN
"I just wanted to let you know that the harp arrived today and I think that it is absolutely beautiful...I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much for making such nice instruments at such reasonable prices." Carla
"I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been working with you, Cindy and Dwight. I get a feeling of being a "good neighbor" rather than "JUST" a customer! I feel like I live just next door rather than many hundreds of miles apart. You have been so willing to understand my questions and help the best you can with anything that has come up. Your harps are beautifully made and the music you have written, Cindy, has been such an inspiration and learning tool for me. I love the ability to listen to the music and the harps online, and hear what they actually sound like, which is quite unique and helps in making choices as to what to buy. I appreciate everything you have done. Thanks," Donna A, NY
"Hi Dwight. I've been meaning to send you and Cindy an email thanking you for the harp and your great workmanship.....it is a wonderful instrument (Amadeus 38) and I'm learning to play it with Cindy's book! (Interactive Harp) I constantly get comments from everyone...they rush over to it and exclaim "Oh, you have a harp! How beautiful!" I'm glad I went with walnut, it really turned out to be a great choice, aesthetically and acoustically. Thanks again." Ken F, TX
"I am just writing to let you know that my new harp (Consort 36) arrived yesterday. She's absolutely beautiful.....It's absolutely perfect and I love the color and finish of it. First of all, I've got to thank you for helping me decide to get the harp in the cherry wood, as it's gorgeous. It's even more beautiful than the picture on the internet. Secondly, I've also got to thank Dwight for the quality of the workmanship, as it's absolutely fantastic, even more than I could have ever imagined. I'm absolutely amazed how velvety she sounds already! Even my husband commented that it sounded so rich in tone so far. He also made the comment that it almost qualifies as a sculpture as it's a work of art. Thank you so much to you both again for everything." Cathy S, Canada"I love my new Consort 36. She is quite beautiful and we are becoming fast friends. Thanks to you and Dwight for helping me make the right choice. The sound is amazing. Mary Anne S.
