ParticipantWhy spend even $900 for an inferior instrument when the same money will buy you something with a 5 year warranty that covers EVERYTHING?
I have repeatedly attempted to contact the distributor of these but have never heard anything back regarding any warranty.
Zen Sojourner
ParticipantPossibly.

ParticipantAll I can tell you is that I did talk to him.

ParticipantI went and looked at this, and it has some advantages and some disadvantages.
Firstly, the expense to add levers is NOT nominal.
Zen Sojourner
ParticipantThe levers on your harp are undoubtedly worthless in their current
configuration.Zen Sojourner
ParticipantHi, Sylvie.
Zen Sojourner
ParticipantWell, Sylvie, all the problems you mention are typical of that manufacturer (unfortunately).

ParticipantBelieve me, plucking the strings is not something I’m shy about.

ParticipantI personally didn’t care for the sound of the one Harpsicle I’ve ever
had the opportunity to play.Zen Sojourner
ParticipantFinally managed to contact him and it turns out his website is down because the server it was hosted on burned up in a fire!
Talk about ill luck!

ParticipantAbout half a dozen in person, and I’ve had e-mails from probably a dozen more people who have owned these, all but one very negative.

ParticipantTo “New Harpist”
The reason I say that buying a Mid-East harp is a crapshoot is because
over 90% of them have problems right out of the crate, and 75% of them
have SERIOUS problems within the first 2 or 3 years of use.They do not hold up.
Quality is extremely uneven.
Even the “better” harps are still of low quality.
For the same money or only very slightly more (in a couple of cases,
actually less), you can buy a real harp from a reliable manufacturer
who will give you a warranty and will fix any problems that might come
up.Zen Sojourner

ParticipantIs this harp being offered to you for free?
Zen Sojourner
ParticipantI think they’re a little too long for carry on, but you’d have to check with the airline to be sure.
