If you’re looking for a higher-tension lever harp (like the ones you asked about above), I’d recommend the L&H Ogden.

Daniel Burton has some very nice hymn and carol arrangements for both lever and pedal harp.

Lisa,

I have owned each of the harps you asked about at some point in my life (no comments, Andy!).

Vivian,

The Lyon and Healy CPO website shows three used Prelude 40’s:

I’ve purchased harps from their CPO stock before, and they’ve been excellent to work with.

VIvian,

The Prelude 40 is a great harp.

Diana,

I checked the Pratt website but couldn’t find the weight of the Chamber harps.

Diana,

I ended up renting the harp that I discussed above, and I can tell you that it’s quite heavy.

And, actually, they seem to fall pretty much in the middle in terms of lever harp prices.

Jennifer,

My ears are picky too, but I really was blown away by the sound.

You may want to check with the harp department at BYU.

I hate to say this, but mine arrived last week.

[brook-boddie]

Nah, I decided to keep it.

[brook-boddie]

Kay,

I have this problem too sometimes, especially when my hands are very dry.

[brook-boddie]

Briggs, that was my impression too.

Yire-

Salvi harps are great harps.
