For all friends of Celtic (and of course other) music, the 22-string Celtic Harp from Classic Cantabile offers feel-good sounds for everyone.
Typical design
Characteristic of the Celtic harp is the typical curved shape of the column, as it can also be found on the Irish coat of arms. Made of ash, the hooked harp has a tone range of 3 octaves (a - a³).
Tuning
The 22 strings are tuned diatonically in Eb major, with the blue and red strings showing where the notes C and F are located. The two tuning keys are used to tune the instrument: while the square key is applied to the tuning pegs, the hexagonal key serves the fine tuners on the opposite side.
Lever action
The special mechanism of this harp makes it a versatile accompanist in different keys. Every single string is equipped with a semitone key, which raises the tone of the respective string by a semitone when it is folded. Thus, with a few simple steps, you are also equipped for any cross-tone.
To avoid transport damage, the harp is sent with the levers folded up. So first of all all tuners are folded down so that all strings can swing freely. In this condition, the harp is then tuned to Eb major, and it is completely normal that the strings will need to be retuned regularly during the first few weeks. However, once the strings have stretched sufficiently, the tuning lasts even longer.
Bag included
The soft padded bag offers your musical instrument not only sufficient protection from dust and scratches, in the outer pocket there is even enough space for the two tuning keys and other accessories.
Simply heavenly!

I have not tested it yet, but just started tuning it.
I am very pleased with the quality of the seller, who responded to my questions before and after the purchase to get the most out of the instrument.

Sturdily packed with neat bag and second set of strings. Fortunately.
Tuning a harp is not so trivial at first, especially not in E-flat major.
A digital tuner is absolutely necessary.
And there the description is unfortunately not helpful, but misleading:
"...where the blue and red strings indicate where the notes C and F are located".
This sentence suggests that the C strings would be blue and the F strings red - but it is exactly the other way around!
Fortunately the internet can help, otherwise you will either have totally limp strings (tuned too low) or everything will blow up in your face.
After a few teething problems so everything tuned correctly and then came the Aha experience: She sounds quite wonderful.
What is most surprising is the quality and the materials. Obviously made in Pakistan, this is something completely different than Chinese mass-produced goods.
No plywood or even worse (MDF, etc.). Everything solid and neatly finished.
And also visually an absolute eye-catcher. Stands with us on the kitchen table (yes, which is appropriately large), so that you can always pluck a little tune in passing. That's just fun, The sound creates a soothing atmosphere and you can also wonderfully deny a whole evening with improvising without the listeners (my wife) to get on your nerves.
Really a full, wonderful instrument.
For tuning, I now put the harp on the sound box so that I can put the tuner on it (can't be clamped anywhere). Then even the high notes are reliably displayed and you can keep track of which string you are tuning. In the meantime, it is no longer so strongly out of tune, but the phenomenon with the retuning over a longer period is known.
The keys are fine, the tuning is not quite 100%, but OK. Unfortunately, you can't get to the fine tuners just then, because they are then covered.
Speaking of fine tuners: You don't really need them, even for the very high strings. However, the corresponding key cannot be used either. A burr at the opening prevents you from reliably putting the key on. For the price, no problem, I think. A little filed and then it fit.
A string is then but simply torn while playing, I was very glad that the second set of strings was included. Good service.
All in all: Who decides like me spontaneously to buy a harp because you find the sound of this instrument so beautiful, which is very well taken care of with this offer and will not be disappointed. No compromise that you think you have to make at this price is recognizable.
Clear buy recommendation!

I tuned it to A at 415 hrzs to reduce the heavy tension and harshness of the strings. I am very happy with both and recommend them to anyone starting out with the harp, they are also the cheapest with very very acceptable quality.... Cheers

Have gently tuned the instrument up to the specified E-flat tuning within two months.
However, the tension is too high for the poor string quality.
I broke several strings in the E-flat tuning. So I have to tune the harp down one tone again.
To achieve the stated tuning of E-flat or even C-major, you need, to all appearances, quality strings, which are available from other dealers for about 130 euros.
The article therefore does not deliver what it promises and it is therefore a misleading.
