Dreamsinger Druid
This is a
wire-strung,
22 string, lap harp, constructed to be what might be considered left-handed, but
the maker says it's actually historically correct for right-handed folks and all the others
are left-handed harps set on the right shoulder. Once you play it, it makes
sense, as the right hand doesn't have to reach under the neck to get at the
strings. Looks to be a mahogany body with maple/spruce soundboard. For more
information see Dreamsinger's site:
http://www.dreamsingerharps.com/harps.html. Scroll down to Druid model and
the section on Materials. There are a few dings (see pillar pic below), but nothing major. It's styled like the ancient Celtic harps and is really adorable with the Dreamsinger dragons cut out of the sound holes. Lovely sound too. The tuners are zither pins. Also comes with an extra set of strings, a tuning wrench and a knock-down stand. The Druid retails for $499.95. |

I am sorry to let it go, but I just haven't had the time to put into learning wire-strung and am in need of funds, so anything not earning it's keep has to go. It's a cute, fairly inexpensive little harp, and while I'm not that familiar with what constitutes a great wire-strung sound (I play harps with nylon and fluorocarbon strings), it sounds lovely to me and has a good amount of volume.
