The 36-String Infinity The Infinity is our newest super lightweight harp!
The Infinity is Heartland's newest and lightest carbon fiber harp It has a full 36-string range, from C to C, with concert spacing and great string tension. At only 42" tall, though, and 8 pounds fully levered, this harp will go with you anywhere and thrive in situations that would destroy a traditional wood harp. You can leave it in your trunk for days, play it out by the campfire on a dewy night, or play it on a beach in full sun. Through it all, it will look and sound its best. The video below will give you some idea of the sound of the Infinity - this is not a small-sounding, plinky harp. It has a depth and power to the tone that belies the size and weight.
The Infinity comes standard with full Truitt sharping levers, gold-plated hardware and a great carrying case. The standard Infinity comes with a clear finish showing the carbon fabric underneath. The fabric is specifically cut and laid out to be seen and admired. We can also create your Infinity in any color you wish, all with a deep, luxurious finish, and gold accents are available as well. We can now offer the Infinity with a beautiful wood-grain finish that will fool the finest woodworker, as well. Also, because the carbon fiber material doesn't shrink and swell as wood does, the Infinity holds its tune much better than most harps.
Gold-plated hardware, standard on the Infinty, offers several advantages. While it doesn't affect the sound or function of the harp, it really dresses it up. The Truitt sharping levers are already gold plated, but on the Infinity, the tuning pins, the bridge pins, the soundboard eyelets for the strings and even the screws that hold the sharping levers on the harp are all beautifully gold plated. The other benefit of the gold plating is that your harp will always look new and fresh, because none of the metal parts will tarnish, rust or discolor in any way. So this is a great way to add that little touch of extra class to your Delight!

The Infinity is a whole new way of building a harp - what we call 'Uni-Body' construction. There's no joint between the neck and the top of the soundbox, or the bottom of the pillar and the soundboard. They all flow freely into the other parts. This make for not only a very strong harp, but also one that resonates incredibly. It's very tactile, in the sense that people just want to kind of touch or rub the various parts of the Infinity.
