What Kind of Harp Should You Buy? Harp on a budget?? | Tiffany Schaefer (Let's Talk Harp)

Do you want to play the harp, but you think you've got to wait years and years to save up enough money? Maybe you're not sure if those inexpensive harps you've seen are good quality? LINKS BELOW PLEASE NOTE: 1. This video was made in 2018 - many harp prices have increased since then (as has everything)! 2. The harp companies in this video are USA based, since that's where I am from. Please consider that when searching for harps in other countries. Let me tell you about 5 different harp companies I recommend - most of them can accommodate a rather small budget! Disclaimer: after having several students with Harpiscles, they are not my first choice for beginners. Just be aware they are hard to balance without the stand, or without the strap/knee brace combo, and the string spacing is quite narrow. Now that you have a harp, what about Zoom lessons?
