29-String Kovac Paraguayan Harp Kit (HMS Book) [CA]

Build your own world-famous, original, John Kovac-designed 29-String Paraguayan-style folk harp from this kit. ** [CA] Canada-eligible product ships to Canada. ** This harp kit is designed to be used along with John Kovac's Harpmaking Made Simple 2-part instructions PDF eBook & templates book, which features full-sized, reusable, cut-out templates with instructions & specifications for each harp! WOOD NOT INCLUDED! (But it is easy to obtain from your local home & hardware retailer or lumber company.) __________________________________________________________________________ This is a complete kit, except it contains no wood, and is based on the plans found in the included John Kovac classic HMS book, "Harpmaking Made Simple". (See below) With readily available wood & other materials and simple tools, you can build any or all of these harps from John Kovac's groundbreaking HMS DIY book. If you know how to use a drill press, circular saw, jigsaw, router, and power sander, you can make your harp from scratch in about a week or so for the largest harp. Smaller harps may take a bit less time. Each harp kit comes with everything you need (except wood) to build one of John Kovac's famous Paraguayan-style folk harp designs. This 29-String kit contains all the strings, parts, specific tools, & dedicated hardware needed to build your harp. You select & provide your wood components, based on John Kovac's recommendations, to cut & shape your harp into a unique musical instrument, drawing on John's years of harp-making experience, his pre-engineered sound, and proven performance. Give us an email for further guidance or recommendations. Plus, you'll need to supply your tools, glue, etc., to create & finish the harp. In the HMS Book, John Kovac includes the list of wood materials you will need for your harp. We also include that comprehensive list separately with each kit, including a complete specifications string chart & a harp supplement document package to assist in the successful build of your harp. Go to my Harp Resources page to find the three Lists that show you the wood materials, strings, hardware, & tools required for each harp. __________________________________________________________________________ See John Kovac playing these Paraguayan Harps: 22-String Model here on YouTube. 29-String Model here on YouTube. 36-String Model here on YouTube. __________________________________________________________________________ The kit comes with the following: Brass eyelets (Small, Medium, & Large, depending on the model) Up to almost 4 Octaves of Nylon Treble Mono-filament & Nylon Wound Bass strings String Colors are Red Cs & Blue Fs String Tuning Mechanisms, Chrome and Pearl/White knobs Various Screws, Hardware, & feet, etc. No Wood is supplied.
