It’s so hard to decide! I started with a Salvi Aida, but as soon as I heard a L&H Ogden I wanted one…except they’re short and I’m tall, so they were uncomfortable for me to play (even with the legs, which I don’t like anyway.) After much shopping around and research, I got a L&H Lyric: tall, with great sound. But I still have Ogden-envy. 🙂
Bottom line: you have to play them and see what feels right. And whatever you get can be sold if you decide later that it’s not working for you.
Happy harp hunting!
