seamus (one who stamped the inside) is my boyfriend! so cool to see his work in use :)

These are quite amazing instruments. I received mine about a year ago and have been very impressed with the comfort, great sound, and the great range in a compact size. I had mine strung A to A and it has opened up A LOT of repertoire that I can play on it without adjustments! I appreciate the Camac levers too.

Good to see you Christy-Lyn! Tip for newbies: when tuning, tune all the C strings, then all the G strings, then all the D strings, then All the B strings, then the A strings, then the E and F strings. The whole set will stay in tune better and you don’t have to go back to very many strings for adjustments. It is a LOVELY harp. I would buy this one. ❤ Thank you for demonstrating this one.

YES!!! Please do a lap harp comparison…you have 3 to compare now, don’t you? Can’t wait!
Hope you saved a couple of those special Minnesota-made bubble wrap bubbles for Caleb to pop!! Congrats, btw! You can do the comparison video in your ample free time. 😂

[AngelaBoraston]

Oh wow I've always been very curious about the Sonnet. Great to see it here.

How nice to share such lovely harp vibrations with baby! Beautiful!

[TheDubbert]

very much looking forward to Sonnet/Marini Bass harp comparison!!!

[kathilisi]

Wow! Beautiful instrument! Quick correction: at 2:12 you say that it has 19 strings, but I believe it has 29!

[rjcb]

Loving the harp, of course...the sound is just amazing!

...but as a spinner, I'm completely enthralled by that lovely spinning wheel in the background!!!

[mrsgoemans-leith]

Beautiful harp aside, the little meows from Jasper were so cute!!

[enmiles]

That is a BEAUTIFUL harp! I am interested in hearing the comparison as well!

[DawnM-syho]

All the best for your harp journey! You’re right: That’s my Ashford Traditional spinning wheel. I also have a Lendrum
which folds so it is more portable.

I love mine. My Orla is strung A to A per request (option no longer available). She has a Tiger Bronze Vivid finish (which is applied over maple). I also ordered an upgraded soundboard veneer. I can’t wait to order the new stand.😊

[TravelWithTerahTX]

Love, love this!! I could do this one! Can't wait 2 get one...and hopefully take the music reading course....❤

[connieLo]

Beautiful wood. Lovely full sound. Love the design. Wow your harp boxes have been getting smaller since the pedal.

[paledeerwoman]

I love the stand! I hope I can get one for mine soon.

[harpshenaniganswithelin]

Jasper has a side career as a music critic. Lovely harp!

[SharonCullenArt]

Oh my gosh I have been wanting to order one for 3 years! In fact I have been talking to Stephanie, and Tracie Lin about them. I’ve been trying to convince my husband to let me buy one, and I will sell my Harpsicle. Oh and something that Tracie Lin did to stand up her harp and rest it was she used a cello stand which is adjustable since the soundboard is asymmetrical. I’m not sure if you noticed that. The right side is wider than the left so that you can turn it in comfortably and it just shapes to your body. Ha you can tell that I wrote this before getting to the end of the video.

[TrinityDivineMozart]

Certainly wonderful and divine instruments God is going to be a wonderful person for the baby. 💛🎼

[DianaSchneider]

This is such a fun and informative video! It sounds beautiful. ❤🎉 Did you upgrade the soundboard on this harp?
