It is pretty easy to pay... I have a little 17 string lap harp I picked up from a music shop 2nd hand for $200 (Australian)... admittedly I then spent about the same again to put levers on so I can change key without having to retune the whole harp....

they are in a fixed key... and... it is reasonably difficult to make it sound bad.... lol

I love mine..best purchase I ever made...

if you want to talk to a real harp fanatic.. send Helen a message....... she'll be only too happy to gush about them.... hahaha

MargaretV is another mudcatter who plays the harp.... and she plays it beautifully on paltalk most days....
