    I really would like to learn to play the harp and was wondering what is an inexpensive harp to buy.

    Just curious, being as I fit the description of chesty and short-armed: why is stave-backed more appropriate?

    When I tried the square back harps, they were very uncomfortable. I couldn’t reach around the soundboard unless I positioned the harps at a greater angle than normal. Trying to fit the corner between the boobs didn’t work. When I tried the fully stave back FH36S, it was very comfortable. So, I want to go that direction.
