Orville Gibson Harp-Guitar
Built around 1900. Notice that the bass section has both the tuners and string anchors built on to the main body of the instrument.
Gibson Style U Harp-Guitar
This instrument was heavily promoted by Gibson from 1904 all the way through the mid 1920s, when it was finally discontinued. Most Gibson Harp-Guitars were built from very thick wood, causing them to be very heavy and sound like a chest of drawers with strings.
Dyer Symphony Harp-Guitar
was made in Chicago, Illinois by Larson Brothers Guitars. It was marketed and sold under the Dyer name by William John Dyer, who was based in St. Paul Minnesota.
