Ordering your Blessley Instruments Harp or Kantele
All harps come fully strung with a matching tuning key, and are equipped with a full set of Loveland (or other) Sharping Levers (except cross-strung models). Camac or Rees levers are available at an additional charge. Finnish kanteles come with steel strings, a tuning wrench, guitar strap buttons, and a basic guidebook. Kanteles can also have sharping levers, ask. Some exotic woods are available for an additional cost for harps and kanteles. Ask us about this when you call or email. 360-910-1112 (Mark) or 360-600-8477 (Valerie) Email: drblessley@gmail.com
Each harp has a unique, custom woodcarving on the neck/pillar. Extra cost options are available by consultation –ie. clavical cut out, Celtic knot work, carvings on both sides of the neck/pillar, etc. Call Valerie at (360) 600-8477 to discuss your ideas.
Harp cases may be available again in the future. For now, we recommend you contact Coon Hollow Canvas cases for your harp. https://coonhollowcanvas.com/ We can help you to make your harp case order. Soft kantele cases are included in the purchase price. For thick, protective kantele cases, please contact Coon Hollow Canvas.

Ordering: A $1500.00 deposit is required to start your harp order; kantele deposits will be established by telephone (if needed). Delivery dates vary, depending on the type of wood and configuration of the instrument you are ordering. We will need to talk with you either in person or by telephone to begin your harp or kantele order. (360) 910-1112.
Warranty: Harp prices include a five (5) year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. This does not include damage from abuse or neglect (ie: leaving it in a hot car, other exposure to extreme temperatures, failure to humidify, sun damage, or water damage). Strings are not included in the warranty, although in some cases, they may be warranted by the string maker. This warranty does not cover shipping costs. Blessley Instruments does not offer any other warranty either expressed or implied.
Cancellation Policy: Once your harp has been ordered and the deposit has been received, Blessley Instruments considers your order to be binding. Should you cancel your order, $200.00 of your deposit is subject to be non-refundable. The remaining deposit money will be returned to you after the harp we are building for you sells, or after we receive a $1500.00 deposit from another buyer of your harp. We are a small enterprise, building custom harps one at a time. We appreciate your understanding of these policies.
