William's harps quickly became popular for their natural beauty, great sound, dynamic volume and light weight. Rees Harps became so popular in the midwest that the Rees family moved from California to the quaint town of Rising Sun, Indiana. Rees Harps is now known worldwide and played by grammy winning musicians. This tiny, family continues to grow and now has over 40 years of experience. Rees Harps offers a lifetime warranty on their harps, and the only harp company to do so. Rees Harps will remain a vibrant lutherie for generations to come.

Following in the sawdust of great luthiers, William Rees has been crafting instruments since 1972, from harps to electric guitars, to dulcimers to lutes and everything in between. A biologist by training, William appreciates the natural beauty and voices in woods and instruments while constantly seeking to understand both within a scientific methodology. During his earliest years of building instruments, he traveled to various music archives and libraries in an effort to understand what he could of luthiers who had gone before. Additionally, William imposed upon the gracious nature of of numerous established luthiers by traveling to their shops for lengthy visits. William is also an accomplished, award-winning multi-instrumentalist who has been teaching and playing professionally since 1970. His first-hand experience, having played for audiences numbering from 4 to 7,000, sets him apart in his understanding of the demands placed upon stringed instruments by professional musicians and discriminating audience members alike. The light of William's life is his sweet goldendoodle, Eleanor, who accompanies William to work everyday.

The following is a reply from Rees Harps to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
