A harp that you can hold in your hands
If you are interested in learning how to play the harp, but have been put off by the cost and the huge size of this instrument, then I would direct your attention to a few of the smaller Celtic harps — in particular the eight-string “mini harp.” This harp, being only about 15 inches high, can be conveniently held as it is played. There are only eight strings on this type of harp, which also means that it should be easier to learn to play than a larger model. This is the type of instrument that can be conveniently taken with you wherever you travel — be a roving minstrel on your next vacation with one of these!
