This was a limited edition of the famous Erard Gothic harp. Built in small numbers in the late 1800's this would have been a top-of-the-line harp for the French Erard shop. It will have a replaced soundboard, but the balance of the instrument, including the very detailed cast brass ornaments, is all original. Initial examination shows this harp to have one of the smoothest Erard mechanisms that we've worked on.
