Lyon & Healy Style 90th Anniversary Special

The Lyon & Healy 90th Anniversary Special, crafted in 1979, is a stunning commemorative instrument honoring the company’s rich legacy of harp making. Designed as a faithful reproduction of Lyon & Healy’s very first harp from 1889, now displayed in the Lyon & Healy Museum in Chicago, this model reflects the innovation and artistry that defined the firm’s origins. Founded in 1864, Lyon & Healy transitioned from importing and repairing European harps to creating an instrument uniquely adapted to the American climate, culminating in their 1889 debut. That pioneering harp introduced groundbreaking features such as a gold-plated disc action mechanism for precise regulation, innovations proudly echoed in this anniversary edition, which stands as both a musical treasure and a historical tribute.
