Roosebeck Lily Harp, 8 Strings, Knotwork

Fun little harp I use for display when selling my CD’s! Tinny little sound but I managed to tune the strings (somewhat); it’s just an eye catcher for my harp business!

Christmas gift for young granddaughter who loves music already and enjoys my harp.

I bought this to worship God I love this thing every note is so angelic this is a table top size so only high Notes this is exactly what I imagined tho

This cute little harp came today. Unfortunately, it was strung wrong! This Lilly harp is supposed to be strung from C to C, with an F in the middle. C D E F G A B C.The Cs are red and the F is blue. That is standard on ALL harps. That means that the two end strings should be red, and the one in the middle blue.However, my harp came strung F to F (blue strings on each end!) Not only that, but the extra set of strings that comes with it is also F to F. Also wrong.There isn’t a whole lot of music out there for an 8-string harp, but what exists is written for a C to C harp. (Google Kristine Warmhold, Marianne Bouvette, and Kitty M.Y. Leung, or find on YouTube)***Now I have to decide whether to return this harp, or to spend money buying a new set of strings and re-string it.***I had asked in the question section whether the harp comes with a string chart. The answer is no, it does not. However the manufacturer is Ensoul Music (Google it) and you can buy a new set of strings there AND find the string chart. Alternatively, you can order harp strings from Northshore Strings USA, but you need the string chart from Ensoul Music.A harp should come correctly strung right out of the box. You should not need to buy new strings and re-string it. The extra set of strings should also be correct because harp strings break - it’s the nature of stringed instruments. For that reason, I am giving it 2 stars. And I think that most people who would buy an 8-string harp probably wouldn’t know, so they would just be duped.Lastly, this is a real little harp. To answer some other review, it comes with nylon strings, not wire strings. That’s how it’s supposed to be. It is also going to sound a bit thin and tinny because of its size.Primarily, this harp is decoration. It is NOT a child’s harp, and it is NOT useful for learning to play the harp. The minimal size for learning the harp would be a 22-string, C to C, harp. But much better, get an inexpensive 34- or 36-string harp right off the bat to learn.That said, this 8-string harp can be played. It is not a toy. But recognize the limitations of having only 8 notes! And be mindful that the tiny size and short strings are going to sound tinny. For what it is, it sounds ok.

I'm so not a professional ! But I truly love this harp. Yes, it's small. And quite real ! I learned to tune it quite easily. I think it's simplicity enhanced it's elegance. The price was a gift in itself, $ 55.00. Thank you

This harp was so beautiful! I bought as sort of a gag gift for my coworker and when it arrived I couldn't help but open the package to inspect it. As a mini replica harp, it measures about a foot tall. Wonderfully crafted, I knew my coworker would love it, and she did!

It's very small.

I bought this for my wife as a gift. It's well made and "cute". Whether she can learn to play a tune on it that's another matter. With only one octave available it's very limited. I really think of it as more of a decor item or a conversion piece. No doubt somewhere in the world somebody can play an entire symphony on it, but not us. It's a good value just as a decorative item
