Cheapest Lever Harp Available - Unboxing, review, modifications and playing

This harp is available on AliExpress and Amazon. It is made in china, has 19 strings and "levers". The tuning pins are tapered, the bridge pins not adjustable and the levers take a lot of work to make functional and accurate. I am unsure the polymer used for the strings.
I thought I would share my thoughts on it as both a harpist and harp maker. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask :)

Thank you for sharing this. I ordered the one without levers and still waiting for it to arrive. So glad to hear you said that. Can't wait to try it. I'm an absolute beginner by the way.

I hope you enjoy your journey playing the harp and it brings you much joy :)

Hello, how much did you pay for this 19 string lever harp?

[@TarasMusicChannel]

320aud. It appears to have recently been discontinued. It may be due to poor reviews.

@@TarasMusicChannel thank you for your reply. I got the exact same harp but I pay much less like $126 AUD. Some levers does not sharpen halftones and there is a buzz when I plug the strings when levers are up. Also thank you for wonderful tips on how to adjust the levers.

@@Joseph_harpist Where did you purchase it for that price? Glad the tips were of use.

@@Joseph_harpist I think most of the cost was postage to Sydney Australia.

@@TarasMusicChannel yes it must be shipping cost since I live in Thailand and the manufacturer are in China therefore less distance to travel.
