  • This is an adorable, inexpensive harp, but unfortunately the levers aren't well regulated out of the box. It's still a great deal for 19 strings! Grab one on Amazon here: amzn.to/39GQLCB

    i've been interested in playing harp for years but i got dissuaded by my family since they were big and expensive. but then i found out about the smaller lyres and lyre harps. Was going to get the Aklot 15 string harp, but i went with their 16 string lyre instead after i watched your review of it.
    i'm so excited to get it soon and start learning! maybe i'll get this one once i actually get a bit better and want one with levers, or i'll invest more since i know i'll use it

    Thank you so much for all of your reviews! I saw this on Amazon and considered it for the levers, but the price sounded too good to be true. I was hoping someone had given a detailed review on RUclips, and sure enough, you did! After hearing your comments I think I'll save up for the Derwent 26 after all. It'll be my first harp - and the last thing I want is to have issues OTHER than beginner's struggles!

    I just purchased the beautiful sounding roosebeck lute lyre harp and it was super affordable and no I'm not being paid to say this! No plink at all. Just will balanced rich deep tones to bright tones. I love it for it's mobility also

    Life in boxes. I remember that when we moved from NE to TX. Good luck with all of it. On to the video... this looks like a good little harp. It seems to be a step above my 15-string Aklot. It's nice to see levers on a harp in this price range.

    • @MusicalMollyKhan

      Oof, and I thought my cross town move was a lot! I can't imagine crossing states. It is a nice harp, and the extra strings in the bass are very helpful - there's a lot more sheet music for 19 string harp than 15 string. But the levers are sadly not all that useful.

    Thank you for reviewing this one. I was commit to order this one as well, but not sure about the levers. It either this or Walter one. But this one is very compact size and sounded quite bright and louder than Walter harp I think.

    @aurorae.camano2509 3 года назад

    I'm considering this or the aklot 15 string for my first harp (total musical instrument beginner) - but I know I will want to restring so they are the proper colours, as that will make learning from youtube easier -- I believe you mentioned you have restrung these harps, what type strings did you use? I hear it is important to get strings specific to the harp, but not sure what either this or the aklot require!

    • @MusicalMollyKhan
      @MusicalMollyKhan  3 года назад

      Great question! Robinson's Harp Shop has the string chart for the Aklot 15 and can hook you up with the right ones - just email them 😊 I'm not sure about this one unfortunately, I haven't changed the strings yet though I am planning on it!

    Based on your fabulous review I have just bought myself one of these. Amazon didn't have the lever one though, so I got the unlevered one for £132.99 which will suit me fine www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08YNKNFXC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You mentioned getting different strings for this harp, as I think I would get confused with the strange colour combo on this one, as I am just starting out with the harp, I think this would be important for me. Can you give me a link to where I can get the set of correctly colour coded strings please? also have you done a video on how to string your harp? Many thanks.

    • @MusicalMollyKhan

      Of course! I would contact Robinson's Harp Shop, they have string charts for some of the Chinese harps and may have one for this one as well - or they can generate one for you! I don't have a video on stringing yet, but there are several on RUclips 😊
