Helen Okay. I did think of that.. having too few octaves to play with. It is very frustrating. That's why I always prefer a piano to a keyboard.

From all the information I've been through, what I understand is that the main differences between harps are the number of strings and with or without levers? (of course not to mention size and price as well) Whether they are called Celtic/Welsh or anything else, are they are quite the same though the sound might be different. Am I correct on this?

I understand that the levers are very useful for tuning and playing pieces of different keys. (Quite a lot recommend Loveland levers)Is it like the whole instrument is transposed into a different pitch instead of tuning the strings one by one? Is this correct too?
