About Us


	Avondale Harp Enterprises is a business that was established in January 1999 from the need of local harp owners, teachers and students. Avondale Harp Enterprises is the authorised dealer in Southern Africa for:
	Salvi Harps (Italy) Lyon and Healy Harps (America) Bow Brand Strings (England)
	Avondale Harp Enterprises also arranges to have your harp serviced and regulated by a qualified harp technician every two years. We do all the arrangements to fly a technician in from Europe to service and regulate all SALVI and LYON & HEALY harps countrywide. We do not profit from these harp services, as we only aim to cover our costs in providing this service to all the harp owners of Southern Africa. We trust you will support us and buy your strings, music and what-not from us.

	Harp music, solo and in various ensemble combinations, is imported directly from most publishers worldwide. Accessories, Gifts and Novelties are readily available for all SALVI and LYON & HEALY harps. We are in constant contact with all the major harp manufacturers and parts for other makes of harps can be arranged.
