"The Quartzophone is the most beautiful instrument in my collection, without a doubt. As beautiful and pure as its appearance, the sounds are truly magical and ethereal. The depth, purity and clarity of tone are unmatched and the vibrations are both joyful and serene. This is an essential tool for space clearing and therapeutic work of all genres. Most importantly, it is an invaluable self-healing tool-it induces a meditative state within seconds. It is and remains one of my most treasured possessions."

The Quartzophone H2 is a unique instrument which creates an unparalleled harmonic that you will find to be soothing, relaxing and meditative. The H2's dynamic tones resonate with all who experience it. The Canadian Birdseye maple wood frame of the Quartzophone H2 has a warm, natural feel and look. It is very popular in Europe and is now available in the USA.
Maple Wood or Acrylic?
The Canadian Birdseye maple wood frame of the Quartzophone H2 is about a half pound lighter than the acrylic frame of the Quartzophone L1. The decision on wood or acrylic is completely personal to your preferences. Both instruments play and create the same outstanding harmonics. Many like H2 because its wood frame makes it easier to see the crystal tubes while playing.
Created by Gaudry Normand of Mine Cristal in Canada, the design is ergonomic and makes it easy and comfortable to hold and play. It rests comfortably on your arm or can be played on a table. It is slim and light weight frame makes it extremely easy to play.
Which Scale Should I Select, 432hz or 442hz?
432hz is most often selected by those who use the Quartzophone for meditation and health. 432hz is an earth frequency. The 442hz is often selected by muscians who play their instruments in the 440hz scale. That said, the harmonics created by the crystal harp are incredibly healing regardless of which scale you select. Practitioners report having great experiences with both frequencies.
Playing the Quartzophone H2
No, you do not need to be a musician. Most of those who purchase a Quartzophone H2 are not musicians. The H2 can be played on its own or with other musical instruments including singing bowls, tuning forks or any orchestral or native instruments. Use the H2 for group meditations, at yoga studios, meditation centers, alternative healing sessions and spiritual gatherings. Many will play at solo concerts or with other musicians.
For those with a musical background, the Quartzophone H2 has the eight notes in the octave of the C major scale tuned to 432 Hz. Each tube is perfect pitch (within +- 5 cents), true tone for those familiar with singing bowls. If you are working with alternative health, the H2 works directly with the major chakra centers, root to crown.
Included with Each Quartzophone H2
- A padded carrier with handles and a shoulder strap.
- A specially designed reusable transport box
- An acrylic display stand
- Two felt-covered round ended strikers
About the Mallets
The Quartzophone H2 comes with two felt-covered round ended strikers. This special design creates a pure and powerful tone and prevents unwanted noises like you might get with singing bowls. By simply tapping lightly on the tubes and by gliding the striker over several tubes, the player can easily create a sustained synergy of sound, a “crystal symphony!”
Displaying the Quartzophone H2
Each instrument comes with a clear, sturdy acrylic stand. The stand has two metal pegs which fit in to small holes at the base of the instrument to ensure that it does not slide off.
Service & Support
Once in awhile a tube may break. Sometimes the cat knocks it over, very often though it is the husband. The Quartzophone is designed so that you can easily replace a tube in about 15 minutes. Replacement tubes come directly from Mine Cristal in Quebec usually in 7-10 days. This is important because knockoffs from China and now from Europe require you to send their instrument back for repairs at your expense or, in many cases cannot be repaired at all. Replacing a Quartzophone tube may seem daunting but it is very easy. We encourage you to contact us if you would like us to step you through the process via FaceTime or Zoom.
Technical Specs
The Quartzophone H2 has eight pure quartz tubes (99.9% quartz crystal), tuned to eight pure tones, similar to the white keys on a piano. It is permanently in tune, regardless of the ambient climatic conditions. Guitar keys, guitar strings and special metal pins firmly hold and suspend the pure crystal tubes. This unique structure gives optimal vibration space to the tubes and creates a unique, divine sound!

Traveling with the Quartzophone H2

It is delivered inside a sturdy shipping box with a carry handle which can be reused. If you plan to travel with your H2 on a plane or baggage handler, we strongly recommend that you travel with the shipping box. The H2 will not fit in the overhead bin on airplanes or trains.

Stunning!
I am so pleased with my quartzophone. The tones are crystal clear and have amazing resonance. The shipping was very fast and the packaging is very protective. I will definitely be keeping it for transportation. It was so nice to be able to call up and talk with the manufacturer before making an investment of this size as well. They were very responsive by phone and email. Now to learn to play this beautiful instrument!

I love my quartzaphone!
I have been a crystal harp for a while. After looking around on the web and seeing the Chinese and Russian versions, and their price difference, I was a little stumped and didn't know quite what to do. But from the moment I heard this Quartzaphone played in the sample video on the website, I got the chills and knew that this was the one I needed to have. I listened to other samples of the other knock off versions and they definitely did not sound as ethereal, resonate as long, or give me the chills. I also found out that the soft padded carrying case that comes with this Quartzaphone is the best protector for it, protecting it better than a hard shell carry case. And the customer service with this company is amazing! I played my quartzaphone in a sound bath the day after I received it and the people receiving the sound bath absolutely loved it. I've given myself a sound bath every day since. My quartzaphone is worth every penny and I'm so happy I made this purchase!!!
