Thank you so much for the information wil-weten! That’s really helpful.
I was considering renting the Siff Saff for three months as Teifi subtracts that as credit from the final price if you decide to buy.

I am quite hesitant to buy second hand, only because I only have a vague idea of what to look for myself quality/damage wise. Also, the warranty you get with new harps is definitely an anxiety alleviator if there is something wrong structurally with the harp. I live on the other side of the UK to most of the distributors so going with my teacher isn’t really an option.

However, if I were to buy second hand what would be on the checklist of things I need to know/look for? I can think of checking that none of the strings buzz when open or levered, and that all the levers are working, and that the harp isn’t cracked or warped. Other than that I’m not really sure what to look for.

Thanks again for your help 🙂
