The Desert Rose
by d'Aigle Autoharps
Desert Rose is a full bodied autoharp with a deep resonant tone, volume enough to compete with any instrument in the band, fine tuners, and exquisite d'Aigle autoharp craftsmanship, all for a price previously unattainable in an instrument of this quality.
First introduced at the 2006 Willamette Valley Autoharp gathering, the Desert Rose received rave revues from performers and attendees, and the accolades have continued ever since. The sound of this autoharp is guaranteed to blow your socks off!
Desert Rose is a unique design concept from any other autoharp on the market. It's built on the same frame as our other 'harps, comes with our patented d'Aigle fine tuners, our light action mylar spring system, exceptional d'Aigle craftsmanship, and it plays fast and quiet like all of our other models.
What sets it apart: Desert Rose's top and back are made of instrument grade Okume ply, sourced from France. The frame and exposed edge are maple pin block. This, coupled with innovative acoustic bracing, have produced an autoharp that exceeds even our high expectations. Yet despite having everything you'd expect from a much more expensive instrument, Desert Rose is affordable.
Desert Rose is available with built in magnetic pick-up, lock bars, and your favorite set-up or our default Bryan Bowers style set-ups. It's also available in nine, twelve and eighteen bar set-ups, chromatic and diatonic.

The Aquila
by d'Aigle Autoharps
With two extra inches in length and an extra 5/8 inch in depth than our standard size autoharps, The Aquila is very loud, very resonant, with a distinctive sound and increased dynamic range.
This 'harp will allow you to jam with any number and type of acoustic instruments, in much greater comfort, without having to strain to be heard. It is flexible enough to blend in yet powerful enough to take a lead.
This 'harp features an anchor end bridge two inches out on the top, rather than abutting the frame. This allows the energy of the strings to transfer more directly to the top, which is the main resonator or "speaker" for the instrument. It also increases the size of the sound chamber, resulting in a highly resonant, loud 'harp with a characteristic sound.
The scale length (the length of the strings between the bridges) is the same as our TLC and Desert Rose, and its width is the same as our other standard 'harps.

The Freedom
by d'Aigle Autoharps
Looking for a way to be noticed? Tired of having to tune your instrument all the time? This 'harp's design incorporates carbon fiber for a unique, modern look that holds its tune impeccably.
Whether you choose a carbon fiber top only, or a carbon fiber top and back, carbon fiber is impervious to humidity changes, so your instrument will stay in tune like no other.
Chromatic d'Aigle Freedom autoharps come with 15, 18 or 21 chords, in your choice of two body styles: the TLC or the Cascade.
Trim wood (and back if the back is to be wood) can be maple, cherry or walnut. Other woods such as bubinga and African padouk etc. can be used on request, when available, for an additional price. We do not use sensitive rain forest woods harvested under poor ecological practices, but we do work with legal exotics from managed plots.
