    • Nice lightweight instrument
This is a nice little instrument and I'm glad I took the chance on it. It's light enough to take with me when I just want to play and has a much better sound than these reviews are saying. I agree that it takes some getting used to as the design is not like other harps, but with some time spent with it I think it's great! The tuning will take time to hold as ALL HARPS DO when first tuning; some people make it sound as if it's a dud as soon as you begin because you have to keep tuning them. All harps will need to be retuned when first using it and then, depending on conditions where you live, one day it just stays. I really love the sound - it's sweet and has a lovely tone. And it even comes with a gig bag, tuner, and strings! Very happy with my new favorite instrument! ... show more

    • Awkward to play, difficult to keep in tune, string tension is a bit off
I bought this to add to a growing collection of instruments. I would not recommend a purchase of this harp for anything other than a toy or primarily aesthetic conversation piece. First off, this instrument looks and sounds pretty swell for the money. The woods are unfinished, but all the joints look clean. The sound of the strings, especially the middle range, is highly sonorous in a mystical way. However, the very top strings are quite tense and snappy while the low strings have the opposite problem, they're loose and tend to go quite sharp when you pluck them. For this reason, it's difficult to balance the volume and timbre between the left and right hands. I feel like the tension should be tighter on the lowest strings and looser on the highest strings. Perhaps the scale length should be even longer on the low strings and even shorter on the high strings. Another option could be to have lighter gauge strings on the highest courses and even heavier strings, maybe even wound, on the lowest courses. I can't comment on whether other brands of strings result in more even balance of tension. It's quite a task to tune this harp and I find myself having to tune it everyday. The tuners tend to jump over the correct pitch and it's tough to apply the right amount of torque with the provided tool because it has short wings so you don't get a lot of torque out of it. Other reviewers mentioned getting a different tuning tool and I think this should be highly recommended. In addition, the tuning pegs have variable tightness, so some are very stiff and jumpy while others are loose, and this doesn't vary in a consistent manner up and down the harp, it seems to be the result of wide tolerances during manufacture. The primary reason I wouldn't advise somebody to buy this harp is the playing position is just super awkward. Held on the lap, the instrument tends to want to sit across your body, parallel with your chest, with two large cut bouts at the base of the instrument that presumably are for knees or lower legs. The problem with this orientation is twofold: it's difficult to see some of the strings due to the angle of the upper frame, and this forces your left hand to bend backwards at the wrist, which is a terrible angle. The wrist should be totally unbent with a straight line running from the largest knuckle of your middle finger to your elbow. Imagine a steel rod driven down this axis that prevents your wrist from bending - that's the ideal position from a mechanical and kinesiological perspective. Playing with the left wrist bent back is less accurate and tends to actually hurt the wrist a bit. Note that you might be able to get away with placing the harp on a flat surface like a desk and sitting pretty close to it, but I found that the desk tends to resonate when you do this. Hmm. Note that other folk harps sit in your lap ("lap harp") and lean back against your right shoulder. In my opinion, this is a much better angle for the left hand. I'd recommend this style of harp, even for a beginner. Go for a lap harp instead of this, or a baby harp that you can sit on a flat surface. ... show more

    • Inexpensive nice sounding harp
The tuning wrench provided did not fit the harp, as it was 4mm. The tuning pegs are 5mm (3/16" or 0.1875 inches). I tried to correspond with seller but had no response so far. (10 days) I ordered one of proper size from another vendor. In the meantime I'm using a small crescent wrench. I am however, quite pleased with the sound. It is more of a lyre harp. This is a sturdy portable and attractive instrument. For the price, it is well crafted. ... show more

    • Great Harp
Very cool harp. The harps from this company take some time before they stay in tune consistently, but after some regular use everything settles in. Beautiful sound and an excellent introductory stringed instrument. If you are new to stringed instruments pick up an electric tuner that can be clamped on to this to make things easier. ... show more

    • Very nice harp.
This is a very nice harp. Well made. The only problem I have is holding it up. I decided that it needed a strap,hooked on the top and then looping around my shoulder. Now I can learn how to play it.

    • I got it because I play harp and I wanted a small inexpensive hack around harp that was easy to carry around and had a decent so
I have had this instrument for about a year. I got it because I play harp and I wanted a small inexpensive hack around harp that was easy to carry around and had a decent sound. This lute harp has three octaves. The strings are nylon and color coded with red Cs and blue Fs. The lowest note is middle C. The highest note is 3 Cs above that. It has tapered harp tuning pins and bridge pins. It seems to me that sharping levers could be added fairly easily, but I haven't done that. I usually play it with our local mountain dulcimer society, and tune it to the key of D by sharping all the Cs and Fs because the dulcimer folks play in that key. The instrument stays in tune very well and there is no slippage of the tuning pins. The tone is lovely with good sustain and volume for such a small instrument. The one drawback is that it isn't really a harp. It is a lyre and due to its size it is hard to play it with traditional harp technique. Also, it is made so that you should play it like a lyre: blocking unwanted strings with your left hand and strumming with your right. I play melody with my right hand and chords/accompaniment with my left. My brother made a small stand to help it stay upright so I can use harp technique on it. I also attached a strap so I can walk around to play it if I want to. Over all it serves my purpose and I love it. I got mine off of Ebay. The price here is about right, but I got mine cheaper, due to its having a minor cosmetic flaw. ... show more
