heartland Tablet Holder

Introducing the New Heartland Tablet Holder

Our new tablet (iPad, etc) holder attaches to the pillar or column of most floor harps easily and quickly, with no damage to the finish. You can place the holder at whatever height you like, and the holder tilts side-to-side and top-to-bottom so you can place the holder at the best viewing angle and avoid any possible reflections. It will handle most tablets, from ‘regular’ and Air size up to the largest Pro models, and just the plain tablet or those in cases.

The holder itself is 3D printed for the most part and is very lightweight. It eliminates the need to bring a separate stand for your tablet and will fit in most case pockets. 1 less thing to leave behind!

NOTE: The tablet holder will not fit most lap harps at this time. The tablet itself is heavy enough to throw off the balance when playing.

Led Lights

We offer the option of state-of-the-art full color LED lights installed under the neck on any of our carbon fiber lever harps. The lights are not only very useful for playing in dark environments, they also increase the ‘wow’ factor of the harps. The lights are specifically designed to shine down primarily on the strings and the player’s hands, rather than the whole area. The lights display the red, green, blue spectrum (and can also be set to white), with the ability to create 27 different shades. They also can be set to various levels of brightness, and 15 different transitional themes—including flashing, pulsing, strobing, etc., which can create a dramatic effect before you come on stage or when you take a break.

All our LED light systems now use a custom, fully-rechargeable, lithium-ion battery pack. It has an on/off switch accessed on the back of the harp just inside the soundbox, as well as a small remote control/dimmer unit to control the lights. As much as people are impressed when they first see the harps, they are even more impressed when the lights come on, and even more still when you control them from your pocket!

Color LED Lights (Installed): $250 (for lever harps), $400 (for pedal harp)

Amplification

Lap Stick or Lap Bar

The Heartland Harp Lap Stick is a perfect companion to our Air Serenity and Double Strung Air Serenity lap harps. The lap stick is designed to be attached to the lower oval opening in the back of the soundbox. It can be adjusted up or down for a proper fit (depending on the harpist’s height and comfort), and then tightened in place. Once secured to the harp, the lap stick rests on top of the  player’s legs, which aids in further stabilization (in addition to the harp strap) of the lightweight lap harps.

Lap Stick:  $45

Replacement Strings

If your harp has nylon strings, (depending on how often you play) you will need to change the strings about every year and a half to three years. Very occasionally, a string will break, and having a spare string on hand to replace it immediately is helpful. Keep in mind that since the strings do not age in the bag, a spare set can be ordered along with the purchase of your harp. If you already own a Heartland Harp and do not have a spare set of strings, you can order your replacement strings directly from Vermont Strings by emailing or  vtstrings@vtusa.net or calling 802-244-8564.

If you have fluorocarbon strings, you can also purchase fluorocarbon spares or sets from Vermont Strings, but you will only need to change the nylon top register and the wires in the bass every two or so years. Joan at Vermont Strings can provide you with partial sets to take care of this, as well.

Gut strings should be changed every year or so, and can be ordered through Heartland. We also have both string charts and string changing directions on our website for all current Heartland models.

All string pricing can be found on our compete Heartland Harps Price List.
