The price of this Harp would be $250.00 if you were to purchase it directly from the maker!
This is not a toy!
This 16-string Lap Harp is perfect as a child's (or adult's) first instrument. It's smaller than the "average" Lap Harp, but is constructed using the same workmanship and materials as larger, more expensive harps. The sides are made of fine Cherry wood; the soundboard is Aircraft-grade Birch laminate. The strings are nylon (as generally used in Celtic and Folk music), with the C and F strings color-coded (C strings are red, F strings are blue). This make it very easy to visualize the notes being played. The hardware (tuners and posts) are the same ones used on larger harps.
It has a two+ octave range (the lowest note is an F; the highest note is a G).
It has a very full tone for it's size (approx. 24" tall, approx. 9" wide) - it's a perfectly-sized instrument for young beginners, or a very portable instrument experienced players. It is new! It has been in our show room long enough now that the stings are fully seated - you will not have to go through the usual "break-in" period of constant tuning before playing it!
Note that due to it's smaller size, there is not room to add "sharping levers" to this harp.

Even if you have a very good ear, I do recommend that you purchase a Chromatic Tuner to help you properly tune your harp. We have these available at our online shop; please feel free to ask about details. Or you should be able to easily find a Chromatic Tuner locally at any musical instrument store.
A Tuning Key will also be included with your harp:
