Helen, There is a guy in Tasmania who makes celtic harps. He is a fairly well-known local character who busks with one of his products. I saw him when I was in Hobart recently. The instrument was beautiful to look at. I don't know much about harps, so I don't know how it would be to play.It was the Saturday market day when I saw him and unfortunately there was also a Chillean group and a New Age group that were both amplified, so it was hard to really hear the instrument.
