travel harp for a child

[unknown-user]

My six year old daughter has been taking harp lessons for one year on a
rented Troubador. For her birthday, she wants a smaller harp that she can
carry around with her. I was leaning toward a Dusty Strings allegro, when I
read that young children can’t get their hands around the sound board. Are
there any suggestions for her. How easy is it for a child to play a lap harp
while sitting on the floor or a low stool?

I would suggest a stoney end harp. While they can be a little on the pricey side, I’ve heard they’re quite reliable. I played on a few of them my self, and they sounded great. You see a variety of stony ends on http://www.harpanddragon.com . enjoy!

Melody’s (folkharp.org) sells the “R” harp, which I highly recommend.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! Victoria’s aunts and grandmother
have contributed $1000 instead of birthday and Christmas presents for the
purpose of buying her a harp. I have come close, but I haven’t found a harp for
her yet. My favorite choice for her is a maple FH26 from Dusty Strings for a
travel harp or a Salvi Livia for a full size harp. Any leads or suggestions would
be appreciated! Albany NY. Karla@taconic.net
