Hi Christine,
I have a friend who has owned a Silhouette. The negatives are the weight,(heavy if worn with performance strap) the levers, the upper register (plinky in sound),and the lack of evenness in tone from top to bottom of instrument. The Silhouette’s Performance levers are some of the worst in the business–they gouge the strings, they’re very difficult to regulate and they change the tone of the string somewhat when engaged. One thing that she did like about the Silhouette was the on-board equalizer. I would advise getting the DHC Light (which is considered the gold standard of electric lever harps–great tone and very even throughout the range, light weight, Camac levers) or for price/good quality levers/nice warm tone, the Kortier electric lever harp.
