If it has levers, the levers need to actually work.
Some may describe a “beginner” instrument as small, toy, cheap or inferior, but if you are a beginner, is this really the sort of product you want to learn to play on? After all, most students who are beginning to play the piano do not usually seek out an inferior piano to play on, as such a choice can easily discourage or prevent achievement.Ī harp of any size needs to have proper string spacing and string tension, and a good sound for its size. There is no universal definition of a “beginner” harp.
To overcome these difficulties, many harpists place their instruments on small tables, stools, or stands when played. Although we typically refer to these smaller harps as “lap” harps, when placed on the lap they can shift around and be precarious to stabilize when the strings are plucked or the harpist is adjusting sheet music, tuning, etc. With the use of a strap, the harp can even be played while standing and walking. They are perfect for harp therapy, car trips, etc. When travel, portability, and price are important considerations, the small harp of 26 or fewer strings is often the harp of choice. Therefore, students who prefer a lap harp will find that a playing stand will eliminate most of these difficulties. There are no extra "how do I hold onto it" issues while you are trying to learn the important things (like hand position, learning to read music, etc.) However, smaller harps are less expensive and will sometimes better meet the student’s needs. Floor harps are easier to learn on for the basic reason that you can just sit on a chair and lean the harp toward you. It is our opinion that floor harps are preferable for learning to play, and the small harp comes later. You will need to think about your goals for playing harp. WHAT SIZE OF HARP DO I NEED?
