Thanks for all the replies. I’m currently debating between getting a 27 string Camac bardic and the 22 one. I know that the quality of the 27 is better than that of the 22, but I would also really be able to play the harp on my bed, or on the go – as the man on the attached photo is doing. Can anyone who has seen/tried these harps tell me whether playing the 22 string harp like this would be feasible in the first place (I’m 168cm), and which of the harps you would recommend for my intended use (bringing the harp to school to be played in the music room, playing in bed, on the go, bringing it when traveling)

My current ‘main’ or ‘at home’ harp is the Camac Hermine

Dislike the video and honestly not fond of the original song itself too, I haven’t actually looked past the part I was looking to show… Remy van Kesteren made me fall in love with the song on harp :’) here’s the link: https://youtu.be/FoDG2KpSLqE

also, thank you! I’ve been playing for about 3.5 weeks now, and I’m quite happy with the speed at which I’m progressing. I’m looking forward to starting taking classes 🙂 good luck on your harp journey!

I’m playing by ear and observing people playing the piece on piano/harp, as I don’t know how to read sheet music yet. I think transposing the piece into another key is a great idea, except I don’t quite know how :’)

Thank you for your reply! I did realize this, however, the switch between these two notes happens too fast to be able to play it on the same string with a lever change.

this is the song:

the part I’m talking about happens at 0:20
