- ATTENTION! - THE BAG AND STICK ARE EXTRA ITEMS, PURCHASED SEPARATELY AND DON'T COME WITH THE HARP IF BOUGHT NEW.
This is my comprehensive of this instrument. I hope you enjoy it!
This is a well done review, and your playing is nice! I hope you've kept with it!
That was a delightful review and lovely playing!
Thanks for this thorough review, and especially for letting the harp speak for itself. I think it sounds terrific. I have been agonizing over all the beginner's choices and you have definitely sold me, I think it will be a Sharpsicle for me. Thanks again, excellent review. Hope you're enjoying your harp journey!
Glad it was helpful!
very helpful review. I've been thinking of getting a harpsicle as my second harp - mostly for grab and go anywhere playing... something my 12 kilo harp just doesn't do as easily as I'd like. Thoroughly enjoyed your overview. Think you touched on all the essentials.
Great fun! My grand-daughter, a Bavarian girl was taught 'folk' instruments at school. This included the Hammered Dulcimer (my late wife played this also) zither, and harp. This is about midway between a concert harp and your new one. Long ago I had a 2 row Hohner and my first mate (a Finn) and I used to play/sing for our own amusement as we plodded across the Indian Ocean. Bavarian Radio is encouraging these 'Junge' groups by putting many on UA-cam. So your vlogs are probably more use than you realize!!
Your life story sounds very interesting and I'd love to hear more what a journey.
Lovely review, Les.
Nice sounding instrument.
I am on my second harpsicle. Well i had a pink harpsicle which i imported from Rees harps. I then started a harp group which plays folk music so i needed the levers on the sharps so i then purchased a natural sharpsicle. It came with the wound bass strings. It is a great harp. I have taken it to quite a few places and like to take it on holiday with me. Lovely video. Hope you have your grand harpsicle now.
Thank you Kerry. Yes I love my Harpsicle. Rees Harps are a great company. I'm looking forward to getting back to my harp after the summer break. The Grand Harpsicle is still only a dream I'm afraid!! Lots of luck with your playing and thanks for your interest.
Thanks for the lovely review. I totally agreed with what you shared. I use this beautiful little harp to teach my students in Singapore. God bless you.
Thanks Beth!
I love your channel and your version of the bold grenadier inspires me a lot ❤️
Thank you so much!
Thank you. You helped me to make up my mind.
Thanks for your review! I am thinking I will search eBay for my 1st harp, a harpsicle.
The sound is so beautiful, I think you've just convinced me of buying one. Harps on the market are just so expensive and I really want to learn this instrument. Would you say it is fit to play more traditional tunes like celtic music ?
Perfect for Celtic music. Value for money. Great company!!
How many strings does this one have? It has a lovely voice. Thank you for the great review.
26 I believe
Would this instrument work as a continuo for flute or recorder?
Hi, I hope you are still enjoying to play the harp. Since you had your harp for a while, I guess you have improved a lot.
I have a special request and I have been looking for a harp cover of the Beatles song "octopus's garden". So far I couldn't find anyone to play it online or live. However I would like it a bit slower than the original to walk down the aisle... And maybe to learn to play it on the harp in a few years. (At the moment I'm thinking about learning to play the harp.)
I have seen your cover of this song on the melodeon. So I really hope, that you could help me. Thank you very much in advance!
Hi Tina - I'll have a look at this when I have a moment.
Hi Tina,
I've got a rough version of this sorted out. Please go to my website www.daddylongles.com and contact me and we can talk about it some more.
Hi friend... lovely harp! Could you tell me how long is the lowest C? (From the the soundbox to the bridge pin)... many thanks!
30.5 inches to the pin and a further .75 inch to the tuner
