Mine is a rosewood harp from Early music Shop, 28 string, and I paid £350 all in, including bag, tuning stuff, and a selection of books.
I really liked the Camac ones, and thought I liked the cheaper ones with the slightly coarse carving on them until I heard the tone of the Camac one. But I couldn’t afford a new Camac, and mine was second hand…
My music teacher reckons its possibly a better tone than hers…Thank you so much for that link.
My harp teacher recommended spotify but I hadn’t been able to get a free invite.
That’s one of my best Christmas presents, and from a complete stranger!
Helen…I’m in early 40s, and in the UK, and started playing harp this summer, following a ‘harp workshop’ at The Early Music Centre at Bradford. I went for the workshop and came home with a second hand but beautiful harp (having tried out just about every harp they had, considered finances, phoned Other Half, sat, deliberated, tried them all out again…) Seems I got a good one as my harp teacher reckons it’s better than hers!
Have you tried out a harp? Perhaps get a trial lesson…
Certainly NOT too late..and so many choices to make on the style of music etc.
With your level of music knowledge you will find you can focus on correct hand technique as you already know how to read music and rythym.
