Hi Dennis,
I own the Catalina Deluxe and play on the Celtic owned by a friend at weekly sessions. The Catalina is more comfortable for taller people, and the stave back really makes the harp comfortable. Bubinga wood really helps with tone which, to me, is of utmost importance. It is important to note that no two harps sound the same. Two Catalinas built exactly the same will have two different sounds. If you are able, try out a harp before you buy it, and don’t buy a harp that doesn’t move you inside. The abalone and other acoutrements are nice….but in the end…it’s the sound that matters..Thank you again to everyone who replied. I feel confident in moving ahead with the purchase. It is also nice to know there are other gentleman harpists.

Thank you both for your replies. I feel the prodigy I played will suit me fine in that I can easily move it from gig to gig. Sometimes, I need to play in a church, and then later at a cocktail reception miles away from the church. The size of the harp really will make this more manageable, yet I won’t have to sacrifice tone or volume. I really was impressed with the harp I played this weekend.
