Introducing “Little Peppie”: an antique harp gilded in gold and full of history. Manufactured in 1927, this harp is rumored to have once been owned by the heiress of the Woolworth estate, Barbara Hutton. Upon being purchased in the 1960s by a new owner, this harp has been shown lots of love by means of repair; including a new neck, soundboard, & column, and a full re-rivet. Maintaining the quintessential crisp and resonant quality of vintage Lyon & Healy harps, this Style 16 would make a great addition to any harpist’s collection.
