I think thomann . de does have some which are 'affordable' or at least not as expensive as most others. I have no clue about shipping out of europe though.
Honestly I've always thought this but then one day I discovered the magic of renting harps... I work part-time on minimum wage and can still pay for it plus skype classes. There's hope :) Although ultimately I want my own because then I don't feel like I'm "paying to the void", meaning I'm paying but I will never own the harp. There are some companies that offer to buy the harp after some time renting it and the rental fees will be deduced from the cost of the harp. A lever harp, to begin with, is much less expensive than a pedal harp and you can do almost anything beginner and intermediate level.
My parent just had a big fight and they're probably going to divorse. Now I'm listening to this song, I love harps. So i just looked it up on youtube. And this was the first video I clicked on, I've probably listen to it like 10 times now and i still could keep listening. Thanks you for posting this, you're very talented.
I've listened to this piece about 30 times in the last few days and find it to be very soothing and the frequencies have a strange affect on my mind. Very nice, thanks for posting.
I took a semester of harp lessons when I was an undergrad music major ... and holy shit was it hard. I have a ton of respect for someone who can really play the instrument well. This is awesome!! Keep plucking!
Beautiful. Nothing sounds like the beautiful Harp. I thought I was getting good playing this song on the banjo, but a feller just cannot compete with that ol Harp. One of my professors in college taught Harp. It is just a wonderful sounding instrument.
there was no editing in this video. It went straight from my camera to the internet. hence the poor sound quality AND noise from turning the page. sometimes the audio/video lose sync. when this happens, click on the little cursor as the video is playing and it should correct itself.
I have listened to this song about once every month for 3 years straight, eargasm every time! love your stuff, and it was nice to see a new video posted btw keep up the good wurk :D
I was doing a crossword puzzle and one of the clues was "harp's ancestor." I found out it's a LYRE and did a youtube search. I found you here, and your playing is amazing. But even better is your big smile at the end of your playing. I have subscribed, and hope for more videos. I've been here an hour or so now, so back to the crossword. :-)
Usually harp songs come off as gloomy or dull to me, which is a shame since the harp as an instrument has a lot of potential. Personally I think you tap into that potential quite nicely.
LOVE your smile at the end... Who would of EVER thought after all these years (40 now?) This would still be such a beautiful song! Your performance was excellent, right down to your smile at the end... BRAVO!!! Do MORE!
Wow! It isw fantastic the way this song has been arranged for celtic harp!. Its sounds great. Thanks for sharing!!!! I have bought a celtic harp 3 months ago and this video is motivating.Thanks.
I saw this on my school news this morning. Steele News Live. This is so beautiful! Such an amazing and perfect song and you represent that so well. I'm in love!
Wow, this is the best harp music I have ever heard :-D. You play with such grace and emotion. Combined with your beauty it is totally mesmerizing. I could listen to this for ever. Well done.
Thanks, never heard it on harp before. Never mind the negative reactions, some have different taste and some just want to kick at anything that isn't theirs. You know that feeling that makes your skin tickle of joy? I just had it listening to your video. You just got a new follower.
man thats killer. I started listening to this group called harptallica and then found this. Keep up the great work you are an awesome musician. Makes me want to learn the harp. Hope you have a great future
That is so beautiful I keep listening to this song over and over!

So sweet , this music on harp sounds really good, i realized i was so calm in the middle of the song. just close your eyes and relax. to my favourites , thanks.
I don't know what's better to say than very graceful after watching this :). It really got my life stresses out of me. Thanks for performing a very beautiful masterpiece :D
The of music flows so very well ann sounds so excellent and so well done , But for me also so uncommon is it seen that the artist musician so accepts their performance so well as to smile so wonderfully and beautifully at the end. Accepted so well by the artist musician we should applaud her all the more !
In "The House That Ruth Built ..." video shown above, you can hear Courtney playing a somewhat different but equally majestic version of "Stairway". This version (further) confirms her magnificent musical and recording talent and abilities.
que placer escuchar tan bella melodía en el arpa! y si sumamos la hermosa sonrisa que tienes es mucho mas placentero todavía... gracias por darle esta alegría a mis oídos. sos hermosa,un beso y todos los éxitos desde Argentina!!! :)
That does it! My nice new harp has been sitting in the corner. I have dreams of taking lessons and learning to play. Your magic has inspired me! Thanks! Post more!! (~8 Holy smoke - almost 2mil views. You ROCK!!

Reaaly nice arrangement. Did you arrange this yourself?
Simply... wow..
All that's missing is Robert Plant :)
WisdomKeeper11 I agree :)
Wonderful rendition of keeping the harp and song pure. Great job.
there was no editing in this video. It went straight from my camera to the internet. hence the poor sound quality AND noise from turning the page. sometimes the audio/video lose sync. when this happens, click on the little cursor as the video is playing and it should correct itself.
You are truly magnificent. Would you consider playing this in a movie?
Could anyone tell me what kind of harp is she playing on?

slightly out of tune but really cool

The big guy's in need of a little tuning. A few incorrect notes in the arrangement, but it's pretty.
