Thank you so much everybody, all these reviews are extremely helpful! And thank you Jerusha for telling me about the hand thing, as I do have “abnormally” large hands, which is highly irritating when i need to get into the upper registers. But I will definitely try the harp first. The woman who’s selling this harp is a friend of my teacher, so I can try it out reasonably easily. And ultimately, I would like to become an orchestral player, but at the minute I’m only 16, would I need to get a Concert Grand at this stage or would a harp like this be ok? Has anybody any experience of the Camac Clio? Apparently it has a lot of space at the top which would be good, but it only goes down to F and the action stops at the B above that, so I’m not sure it would do the job at all =/. It looks amazing though and by what I’ve read before it’s got a great tone 🙂
Thanks again everybody! 🙂
Hi! I’m glad to hear you wanna start harp 😀 Definitely go for it, cause piano/organ really helps. I play harp too n im 16 n have done for the past 4 years, havn’t regretted a minute of it 😀 I live in Ireland, and at the national harp festivals/competitions there’s a surprising number of guys. Admittedly, we are GROSSLY outnumbered by girls, but sure, at least we still exist. I would strongly suggest that you start harp, because you won’t regret it. And apart from anythin else, you can earn money at it aswell with weddings n all sorts of stuff. Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi! Yeah I am, I’m 16, 17 next month, and I’ve bin playin harp for the past 4ish years. It’s always annoyed me that people think of the harp as a feminine instrument, but I’ve never got any abuse because of it lol I love it, I’d never give it up no matter what anybody said xD obviously cause it’s the coolest instrument ever in the world lol
