I got an almost identically worded email back in December when I was selling one of my harps. I didn’t bother to write back, since everything he was asking about was already in my ad. I’d say it’s a scam.

There are quite a few makers of wire strung harps. Here’s a list of wire strung harp makers (check the bottom of the page): http://dorveille.com/links-resources/harp-makers-sellers/
Craig Pierpont of Another Era Lutherie and James Skeen of Folc Harps both have sound reputations for making really nice affordable wire-strung harps. Depending on the number of strings you want, Stoney End makes a 22 string that is not too expensive.
HTH!
