1.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous But Worthless To Play, October 12, 2010

This review is from: Minstrel Harp TM, 29 Strings

One of the worst purchases of my life. This is a visually gorgeous harp with beautiful Celtic scrollwork - perfect if you want one just for decoration. If you want one to actually play, don't even consider this harp. It has a dull cardboard sound and is not enjoyable to listen to. The sharping levers are so cheap, they can't sharp in tune - you are a better off re-tuning each string! I had a woodworker reinstall each lever a bit higher, which helped somewhat but didn't solve the tuning problem. Then it developed a buzzing noise inside the bridge that no one could figure out or fix. Finally, the string pins have such poor screw threads that after just a month of playing I could not keep a single string tightened and in tune - the pins pop right out. I wouldn't recommend this harp even to beginners, as its terrible sound and manifold problems made it more of a pain than a joy to play. Save your money a few months longer and get a Dusty Strings harp starting at $695. They are affordable, enjoyable to play, of excellent quality, and have the most crystalline sound you could ever want in a harp.
