5.0 out of 5 stars Harp Music, May 27, 2008

This review is from: The Most Relaxing Harp Album in the World... Ever! (Audio CD)

Animal behaviorists have done some studies showing harp music is good at calming animals, especially cats. My cat was very skittish and unhappy as a result of very loud construction work next door and all other efforts to calm her down had not been totally successful. I got this and she (and I, if you must know) relaxed immediately.
It is a beautiful sounding album. (And the bahaviorists have a point. Cats do seem to hear vibes in harp music we can't. It was like instant prozac for her.)

A surprisingly good-quality product. My three-year-old daughter loves to listen to it at night when she goes to bed!

I bought these for the teachers I work with & they loved them! It's a great CD to play in the classroom for the kids as well. I even bought one for myself and I absolutely love it! It's very relaxing with the beautiful sounds of the harp.
