 A wonderful gift at a great price! Nov 24, 2007
By Silver Dragonfly
PLEASE NOTE - THERE WAS AN ERROR WITH THE AMAZON WEBSITE WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CLICK ON THE STAR RATINGS. I HAD INTENDED TO GIVE THIS ITEM A FULL 5-STAR REVIEW BUT WAS UNABLE TO. READ ON! I bought this for my daughter last Christmas and have not had a single regret. I had hoped to get her interested in eventually learning to play a celtic harp and this seemed like a simple first step. I purchased extra music sheets to add to what it came with and, even at 5 years old, she has really gotten the hang of making pretty music with it. It is one of the few toys she doesn't forget about- it is out on a regular basis and is simple enough for her to use. I've had to tune it at least a couple of times but I would think that it is to be expected especially when less than gentle hands play with it often! It is a beautiful piece, well-crafted and simple. I can't think of a single reason to hesitate if you are considering this instrument.

 Easy and Fun Aug 08, 2006
By J. Guerra
My daughter is four and recieved this as a gift from her grandparents. It is sturdy and a perfect starter instrument. She was playing in one afternoon. We plan on putting her in piano in a year and I think this is a chance for her to ease into the process. She gets to look at the "sheet of music" and begins to understands that the circles coorispond with notes to be played. She enjoys the feeling of accomplishment and we enjoy listening.

Music to Your Ears Jan 13, 2007
By Joanne R. Fitzpatrick
"puzzle ponderer"
What a glorious instrument! This is so beautifully crafted and the sheet music is wonderful.. We bought it as a gift for our 9 year old and, truth be told, the teenagers and the adults love it too!!! I've since ordered additional music packs and they're great too. Skip the cheap ones that are on the market and buy this one.

Tuner does not work Nov 21, 2009
By Ashley Garcia
If I could tune this easily, I would give it a great review. It is simple, easy to play, and pleasing to the ear. Unfortunately, the harp arrived painfully out of tune and the tuning key does not fit properly. It does not turn several of the pegs. Some of the pegs will not turn even with a gentle twist of pliers.I don't mind tuning a harp, but the original equipment should work.
This harp arrived with a small crack in the wood. It did not come with a pick, which surprised me. The Amazon product description says "handcrafted in Europe" but the box says "Made in China." I would like to order a replacement but I am concerned about the quality of workmanship. What a disappointment!

 A good toy if you have the patientce... Sep 03, 2010
By georgia west
The price is reasonable however this is VERY difficult to keep in tune. Unless there is an experienced (and patient) musician in the family (who happens to own a chromatic tuner) I would not be able to recommend it. I say this having played (and tuned) my guitar for many years with no issue. Even with my chromatic tuner I could not really get it close and ended up taking it to my local Guitar Center- it was that much of a pain. But the tone is nice and the kid I gave it to as a gift does enjoy it. He especially likes the music sheets that slide in and make it easy to play right away (though he has reportedly uttered the phrase, '...but it never stays in tune'. A good toy if you have the patience...
