The wood is Okume, (Brazilian Mahogany) It is a ply imported from France, which is made under very high pressure which gives it the acoustic properties. Bars are an aluminum extrusion and can never warp. The weight is a pretty incredible 5 pounds four ounces, and is the lightest of any 36 string autoharp manufactured today. Purchase a Sparrowharp.

“Just like my Evoharp except it fits my short arms.” Joan Delzangle, PhD. California
15-Bar Sparrowharp3/4 sized autoharp designed by Evo Bluestein & Pete Daiglechromatic
The 15-bar chord layout is designed just like the Evoharp except that the width of the harp is slightly less, which means many children or adults with smaller arms can play it in the popular upright postion, though it can certainly be played flat on a table or lap. Standard Sparrow chords are the same as for the upright 15 bar chromatic Evoharp, but 18-bar, 21-bar and diatonic Sparrowharps are also available!

“Today I have good news. I received your Sparrowharp. Your package arrived at my house. It is very beautiful. Thank you Thank you Very Very Much”Taeko Ikegaya, Japan
“I’ve owned several custom autoharps over the years, including a Fladmark and one by John Hollandsworth. Those were big beautiful custom instruments but I think the Sparrowharp more than holds its own among them. The tone is full and resonant from low to high. The body is well made without being ostentatious. It is easy to carry and hold, and the action of the chord bars is light and smooth. Thank you for creating this lovely folk instrument. I am delighted.” Shirley in Arkansas
“We received one of Evo’s New Sparrowharps today. You wouldn’t think that a small harp would be so responsive. Even playing with bare fingers yields a good result. Maybe the strings being a little closer yields some sympathetic vibrations with adjoining strings.. Whatever it is, the harp is smooth, clean sounding, full of nuance and sweetness. Bravo to all responsible for this harp.” Richard and Angela in Tennessee
“Nice little ‘harp — very comfortable to hold, good tone and more volume than I expected.” Jo Ann Smith, autoharpist
“The Sparrowharp arrived this afternoon.The tone is lovely. I love the wood. The whole thing is better than my wildest anticipation.” Ms Billie Dunk, Illinois
“I just got the Sparrow from Pete last month. I love the little sparrow. I’m short and I have trouble getting my arms around the large harps, so this little diatonic is perfect.” Sandy Deems
A Sparrowharp Story: “I find it to be the perfect accompaniment for my hospice clients. Hospice staff sent me to visit an elderly woman who was in her final days of life but going through what we call, ‘terminal restlessness.’ She had been shrieking and thrashing in bed for 3 days. She hadn’t slept, and neither had her husband or family. When I arrived at the home, everyone was in a state of wide-eyed desperation. Now, I’d met with this dear lady on previous occasions and knew she so loved to hear and even sing the old hymns with me. So, sitting at her bedside, I took out my Sparrowharp and began softly playing and singing: How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace, The Old Rugged Cross, and many others. Within 10 minutes, this precious one was quiet, then humming along with me, then in a few more minutes, fell fast asleep. After about half and hour, I slipped out the door, whispering farewell to the one family member who was still slightly awake. Within 12 hours, she was ‘home’ singing with the angels. Thank you so much for caring and for producing such a useful instrument.” Ruth Palnick, Spokane, WA
