I got some lutz harp tops from Shane at High Mountain a few years ago!
They were great!
As usual !!!!!!
B & Sides may be harder to obtain!!
I cut my own from Pau Ferro !

Hi Jon, what is the size required for Harp Guitar.? If you contact some one like Uncle Bob, Zootman he might cut a back and side set for you, you have nothing to lose by asking him.
Best regards, Robert,

Alaska Specialty Woods also sometimes has Sitka and Western Red Cedar in harp sizes.

I recently brought a Lutz Spruce Harp Set from Shane at High Mountain Tonewoods for the Weissenborn copy that I'm building, and it was very nice, and affordable.

For back and side sets, try Larry Davis at Gallery Hardwoods. I know he sells Weissenborn Style sets.

I got my tops from Shane. I got my sides and back from Bruce Dickey (poster here). He had some nice oversized bubinga. Pretty stuff. If you are building a Dyer, he may still have the tracing I sent him to figure the cuts.

I just got a big hunk-o-Ovangkol (or Shedua) that may be long enough to cut harp sets out of. Let me know if you are interested or PM and I'll try to take a picture of the billet.

How long do the sides and top have to be?
