Classic Cantabile H-22 AW Celtic Harp 22 Strings

A beautiful harp and yet simple.
I have not tested it yet, but just started tuning it.
I am very pleased with the quality of the seller, who responded to my questions before and after the purchase to get the most out of the instrument.

I received it within 3 days, it is very nicely finished, but unfortunately I received it damaged ... I received the instrument with all spare strings, which is very useful, especially as a beginner, and with its carrying case ideal to play it in other places.

Harp ordered in the morning by express - there the next morning. It does not get any better.
Sturdily packed with neat bag and second set of strings. Fortunately.

Tuning a harp is not so trivial at first, especially not in E-flat major.
A digital tuner is absolutely necessary.

And there the description is unfortunately not helpful, but misleading:
"...where the blue and red strings indicate where the notes C and F are located".
This sentence suggests that the C strings would be blue and the F strings red - but it is exactly the other way around!

Fortunately the internet can help, otherwise you will either have totally limp strings (tuned too low) or everything will blow up in your face.
After a few teething problems so everything tuned correctly and then came the Aha experience: She sounds quite wonderful.

What is most surprising is the quality and the materials. Obviously made in Pakistan, this is something completely different than Chinese mass-produced goods.
No plywood or even worse (MDF, etc.). Everything solid and neatly finished.

And also visually an absolute eye-catcher. Stands with us on the kitchen table (yes, which is appropriately large), so that you can always pluck a little tune in passing. That's just fun, The sound creates a soothing atmosphere and you can also wonderfully deny a whole evening with improvising without the listeners (my wife) to get on your nerves.

Really a full, wonderful instrument.

For tuning, I now put the harp on the sound box so that I can put the tuner on it (can't be clamped anywhere). Then even the high notes are reliably displayed and you can keep track of which string you are tuning. In the meantime, it is no longer so strongly out of tune, but the phenomenon with the retuning over a longer period is known.

The keys are fine, the tuning is not quite 100%, but OK. Unfortunately, you can't get to the fine tuners just then, because they are then covered.
Speaking of fine tuners: You don't really need them, even for the very high strings. However, the corresponding key cannot be used either. A burr at the opening prevents you from reliably putting the key on. For the price, no problem, I think. A little filed and then it fit.

A string is then but simply torn while playing, I was very glad that the second set of strings was included. Good service.

All in all: Who decides like me spontaneously to buy a harp because you find the sound of this instrument so beautiful, which is very well taken care of with this offer and will not be disappointed. No compromise that you think you have to make at this price is recognizable.
Clear buy recommendation!

I bought the 29 string harp and am thrilled with its sound. It is solid and weighs 7.5 kg, not the 4 or so in the description I like, otherwise it would be a wood without density and body to resonate so well. Once the strings stabilize after a few days of adjusting, you only have to adjust them very selectively. So I bought the 22 string one for easier transport and relaxed use in my chair. It weighs a little more than described, 5,150 kg. and I have it tuned to A at 415 hrzs.
I tuned it to A at 415 hrzs to reduce the heavy tension and harshness of the strings. I am very happy with both and recommend them to anyone starting out with the harp, they are also the cheapest with very very acceptable quality.... Cheers

We are happy with the harp, but are the strings of good quality? We are wondering because, despite the care we take when tuning and playing, many strings break, including those from the spare parts set. Is there an address where I can get individual strings of sufficient quality so that I don't have to be annoyed?
