Thanks, Bonnie and Molly.

She is in Alaska. She was a music teacher, so she's quite versatile in what she plays, though stringed instruments are her forte. She, like me, wants to try a small harp as she's become quite interested in them over the years. We both tend to pick up a new instrument, try it for awhile, and sometimes lose interest. The new one I have really stuck with is my lap dulcimer. She plays fiddle and violin with a couple of groups and will always do that, but she's just looking for something new to try at this point. She sings, but mostly when she plays her baritone uke. If she gets a harp it will be for playing at home and with family, only.

She is definitely checking out the websites you all have mentioned. Budget is a consideration, but we both understand, now, that cheap doesn't equal quality or satisfaction. Thanks, very much!
