What type of harp should a beginner buy?

Beginners typically do best with a lever harp that’s easy to transport and simple to learn on. Choose a size that fits your goals—smaller string-count harps are great for learning fundamentals, while larger models offer a wider range as you advance.

What is a lever harp (Celtic harp)?

A lever harp—often called a Celtic harp—has small levers on the neck that raise individual strings by a half-step. This allows you to change keys and play sharps/flats more easily without retuning the entire harp.

How do I choose between different string counts?

String count affects range and repertoire. Fewer strings are lighter and more portable, while more strings provide a broader note range for advanced pieces. If you’re unsure, start with a size that matches the music you want to play and where you’ll use the harp (home, lessons, travel, or performance).

Do your harps come with levers installed?

Many lever harps are offered with levers installed, but availability depends on the specific model. Please check the product page details for what is included with each harp.

What accessories do I need for a new harp?

Most harpists start with a tuning key and a protective carrying bag or cover. Many customers also keep spare strings on hand for quick replacement and maintenance.

How often should I tune my harp?

New strings and new harps need more frequent tuning as the strings stretch. In general, tune before each practice session or performance. Over time, your harp will stabilize and hold tuning better with consistent care.

How do I replace a harp string?

String replacement varies by harp model and string type. Typically, you remove the broken string, attach the new string at the soundboard end, thread it through the tuning pin, and tune gradually up to pitch. If you need help, contact us with your model and the string you’re replacing.

Do you ship harps across the United States?

Yes, we ship within the United States. Shipping options, costs, and delivery estimates are shown at checkout and may vary by harp size and destination.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order ships, you’ll receive tracking information by email so you can monitor delivery progress.

What is your return policy?

Return eligibility depends on the item and condition upon delivery. Please review the store’s return policy page for the most accurate details, including timelines and any exceptions for instruments and accessories.

How do I care for and store my harp?

Store your harp in a stable environment away from extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Use a padded bag or cover for protection, avoid direct sunlight for long periods, and keep the harp clean and dry.
