    Hello Terry!

    I looked at the Dreamsinger harps, but I think shipping will be awfull 🙁

    I will look up Joyce Hershey when time comes! Thank you for the tip!

    Perhaps you are right! I was in contact with the company and by the time they get the harp in stock (sometime next year) I will probably hava managed to save up enough that the Limerick would be a real possible candidate!

    It does help! I need help beating the “If it seems to good to be true it probably is” message into my head ^^

    Thank you for answering Biagio!

    I don’t even know if there are any teachers around here, google is failing me 🙁 But in the future it is not at all impossible that I would look for a teacher. As it is, right now my plan is to invest in a self-teaching something to start with, and I thank you for the namedropping! I will check them out!

    Maybe, by the time I can make up my mind about the harps, I can even afford one!

    Thank you for answering Terry!

    I have considered them. The problem with the Smartwood one, which I can kind of easily fit into my budget in kit form, is that I find it very unpleasing for the eye.
    I love the limerick one, but it’s way more (not harp way more, but it’s a lot of money!) expensive. Thinking about it, maybe I coulde save for a while, rent for 6 months and then buy (as you can put those months payments towards buying a harp form NordicHarps…). But it’s still a lot of money that I could put to good use somewhere else :/ I would also have to put the harp playing dream off for approk 6-12 months I think. It’s such a long time! I know it’s the smartest thing to do. Just so frustrating!

    Oh, I forgot about the cardbord ones. While they are nifty, I woudn’t be able to bring it to any events I would like to go to, it would stick out like a sore thumb 🙁 But I will keep them in mind! Money might yet win!

    Do you know anything about the Thomann harp? It looks very different to the mid-east ones.
