Thanks so much for this useful information Jennifer. I will certainly research these options.

Hi Kathryn-I will take your advice on trial lesson. Agonising over cost of hiring at the moment. Would you mind at least giving me an idea of what you paid for your harp – I presume it’s a lever harp. I have looked at adverts for second hand harps but prices seem to vary so much for harps that are presented as very similar and i have no idea as to what I could expect in terms of quality!

Thanks so much for all replies. I certainly now realise I have not ‘missed the boat’ so to speak and there are people out there getting a huge amount from taking the harp up in later years. I’m at the beginning of my ‘harp journey’ and need to research what kind of harp to begin with. Financial constraints mean I have to rent initially but I suppose at least I have not committed myself to huge financial outlay. I have at least found a couple of harp teachers in the area, The Virginia festival weekend sounds wonderful but not accessible for me as I am in the UK (Sussex). However I gather from my web explorations that there are festivals in Cardiff. Wish me luck!

Thanks Diane. I find this very encouraging. Do you play pedal or lever harp?
