Venus Prodigy

[Jeffrey Baraglia-Palmer]

I had the opportunity to play a Venus Prodigy today and was impressed with its sound. It was as if the harp was already aged in that the tones were mellow and rich. I wonder what will happen to this sound as the harp ages…will the tones sound blurry and inarticulate? This would become a problem in my church venues as there is usually plenty of reverb or echo.

Hi Jeff.

Hi Jeffrey,

I own both a Venus Aria and a Venus Criterion.

[Jeffrey Baraglia-Palmer]

Thank you both for your replies. I feel the prodigy I played will suit me fine in that I can easily move it from gig to gig. Sometimes, I need to play in a church, and then later at a cocktail reception miles away from the church. The size of the harp really will make this more manageable, yet I won’t have to sacrifice tone or volume. I really was impressed with the harp I played this weekend.

I own a Venus Prodigy, which I bought new a year ago and recommend it to anyone who cares for beauty of sound and ease of playing. It makes a great value for the money. Lately I happen to try a 47 string harp, by different maker, that costs more than double and found my harp to be better in every aspect. If you like its sound, it’s a good reason to consider buying it, in my opinion.

Thank you again to everyone who replied. I feel confident in moving ahead with the purchase. It is also nice to know there are other gentleman harpists.
