It seems that Clio may be a better option for us. There is a huge difference in the prices of straight versus extended versions of Clio, so it has become a hard decision for me to choose from them.

Denver CHMemberThank you, Tony! For me, the information you provided is very valuable.
Denver CHMemberThanks, Catherine. How do they differ in tone and build quality? And do they have the same string spacing and the width of upper part of the soundboard? My daughter is petite and needs a smaller-sized harp, so I wish to find out which harp has narrower spacing and width. Thank again!
October 30, 2011 at 5:41 pm in reply to: How many strings are needed for Grade 7 and 8 exams #156779Denver CHMemberPut the question more specifically, for example, will a L&H Style 85 Petite (40 strings) or Style 85 GP (44 strings) suffice for the exams?
Denver CHMemberAnd there are several other samples for some other harps:

Denver CHMemberAccording to HARP IN LA, “In general, the Chicago harps have a warm, even tone, and overall tend to project well. The 85 series harps have a bright tone quality, particularly full and resonant, with a rich, deep bass.” I guess the eyelets may partly contribute to the difference in the tone of Chicago series and Style 85 series, i.e. warm versus bright. According to the photos I saw, the Chicago harps may use nylon (or plastic?) eyelets, while the Style 85 harps may use metal eyelets.

Denver CHMemberThat’s very helpful, Sam. That’s a new idea for me.
