Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I am in the USA. I am going to do some more research. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Size? Type of harp? Cost and portability are important.
Thanks for the advice. I am liking the sound of the Ravenna more than other harps the same size. Alison, what size of harp would you suggest?
Hi Cindy, I was in almost the same boat as you. First, if you are thinking of playing the harp, you should go for it. I did, and now can’t believe I ever hesitated. I love it. I am renting a sharpsicle, and it has been good for me. I am now thinking about buying a harp. You may want to look into the Ravenna 26 by Dusty Strings. It is reasoably priced, and I have heard good things about it. You can hear a recording on the Dusty Strings website. Good luck!
That sounds really good over all. I am glad it is so easily portable. How much of an advantage does having it fully levered give you? See, I am fairly new to the harp and have been playing on a rented instrument. I am on a tight budget, and know it costs more to have it fully levered. What would you recommend? Are there any other harps that may be a good choice?
Thanks! I’m looking into the books and videos. For now I have some sheet music to work from. One thing I am worried about is developing bad habits. Everyting I have read said to be careful, but I haven’t found anything that said what those bad habits are. What should I be watching out for? A list would be great!
