I've always wanted to play a harp, but I didn't know you could buy one. Many people don't realize that traditional or folk harps are becoming so popular and affordable. Once you start paying attention to harps, they start showing up everywhere.
Numerous teachers give lessons and builders are making ever better instruments.
The Folk Harp Society publishes a quarterly journal and holds a convention every other year. Harp recordings are popular. Probably the biggest area of growth is using the harp as an instrument of healing. Both the use of the hands on the strings to restore the health of the nervous system and the creative process of making music to restore the mind lead one to better health. When you start looking for a harp to buy, I hope you will seek out other harp players for advice and give the Stoney End harp a try.
