I own a Merlin and I can’t say enough good things about it.

Ditto.

Argh!

I like the idea of the camo harp (further down this thread).

But has no one noticed . . . .

“I imagine it may be easier

For an affordable option, very portable, and suitable IMO for a hospice situation (where you’re playing up close and personal so a whole lot of projection is not only necessary but also could be undesirable), look into a Harpsicle or Sharpsicle.

They’re not my favorite harps but they are way way better than cheap harps that may LOOK better but have all the problems with regulation and poor quality of construction others have mentioned.

[Zen Sojourner]

Alrighty then.

I have a Blevin’s Bouree which was left sitting in the middle of a field for over a week (I was out of town when it was delivered and apparently UPS thought that was appropriate) in the Missouri summer sun, heat and humidity, with no damage.

[Zen Sojourner]

They are differently constructed.

[Zen Sojourner]

Personally I greatly prefer the plainer styling.

It was a year ago Saturday that my dad died.

I have a Blevins Bouree, also 26 strings, which is fairly portable.

[Zen Sojourner]

Hmmm, well, I’m doing it all wrong I guess, but I tune with the levers flipped up and I leave them up on my Blevin’s Bouree which I have had for over 5 years and it hasn’t broken a string yet.

[Zen Sojourner]

Both are excellent harps, it totally depends on the sound that you prefer.

[Zen Sojourner]

Yeah, that’s a $700 or $800 harp easy.

Wish you could edit postings.
