is this the 29 string???

[maplesquirrel]

Yes it is! The most common harp on the face of the planet. :-P

Rock on it sssssooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo rock s this world where did you get it.How much it cost,.I might get one.

Hello! Thankyou for the comments. :-) I actually bought it used for $300. Included was the case, tuning tool and an extra set of strings. It was a really good deal. You can always find this same harp on ebay...Or you can look up 29 string minstrel harp on google and it will come up with some sites that also sells the same harp. :-)

I'm looking for a harp and I like how this one sounded. Does it stay in tune? My teacher is pressing me into getting a Stoney End harp, but I want to explore my options.

[maplesquirrel]

@greensleevesharpist I would absolutely NOT buy this harp. This was a beginner harp for me(I was trying to find out if I even liked the harp) and It made me realize I wanted to continue playing the harp, but it meant upgrading fast! This harp is the cheapest on the market, is cheap in quality and the levers are especially horrible. I upgraded to a Lyon and Healy Ogden as soon as I could. I personally would get a Lyon and Healy, but the Stoney End harp may be great...I've never played one.

Cool i love it.

[skittfrogg]

Oh wow, what a change that tune undergoes with a simple meter change o.o

[MrReederross]

Ok,ive uploaded some videos so you can see it in a full spectrum then decide.Good luck to ya!

[bespeckledbunny]

@MichelleAlex20 thanks!

[MichelleAlex20]

@bespeckledbunny-No,its not that bad.I ended up getting the minstrel and the meghan harp and both are great.I would suggest the meghan over the minstrel though because the bass clef range is MUCH better.The price of the meghan runs about 1079.00 on ebay.I bought both of them from a lady named valarie and her store name is new era treasures,she was very helpful and shipping was great! If you check out my page in a few days,I will upload a review video on both of them for you :)

[bespeckledbunny]

@MichelleAlex20 im considering buying this one (im a beginner). is this harp really that bad? thanks!

[Harpsong85]

Definitely consider a stoney end harp. I can tell you that the most basic stoney end will far excel any harp from this maker.

Good job!

[MichelleAlex20]

great playing!

soooooo I ignored your opinion on this harp(to someone else,I was reading the comments) and went ahead and bought it.

Is there any tips that you could give me about it? in paticular the lever system.

the good the bad and the ugly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please

[riekes]

Girl, I would surely mary you after listening you play that harp :)

I'm also a musician, and I'm like to try out some new instruments, and I think the harp will be the next.

By the way, would you be able to send me this music score? I think it would sound nice on a guitar and a recorder :)

greetings from Brazil!

Beautiful. Nothing less.
