Answer: Both the Salvi Hermes and the Prelude 40 are known for their exceptional quality, as both Salvi and Lyon and Healy prioritize craftsmanship. The Hermes is a low-tension harp with Bio-Carbon strings and a large 40-string range, offering a more Celtic harp feel. The Prelude 40, on the other hand, is more stately with higher tension and gut strings, providing a sound and feel closer to a pedal harp. Both are reliable and come with the same warranty, so it ultimately depends on your preference for tension and tonal quality.
