Customer ratings for Classic Cantabile H-12 Celtic Harp 12 Strings Set

Despite adverse weather conditions
( snow chaos) my instrument was delivered quickly.
The harp was very well packed and arrived undamaged.
It is a pleasure to play this beautiful instrument!

Am happy with the overall package - it is also much easier than I thought. Unfortunately, I found that there is relatively little sheet music for it - then we will look at the guitars and transpose.

Kirstein:
Order, product and support great.
DPD:
6 days of transport across Germany.

The most important thing: the harp is really fine! I am a full-time musician and now have a small collection of instruments. This is my first harp - so of course I'm not an expert. But after tuning it several times over a few days, it now holds its tuning quite well, looks well made and sounds nice. And it's a €100 instrument, not a concert harp, of course it can't produce that sound, but it sounds nice and works and is really fun to play!

Music stand, tuner, bag, everything is okay, practical, easy to use.

And then the harp school: a very thin booklet designed for beginners (explanation of note values and rests), but with too little explanation, and of course completely uninteresting for musicians in this respect. The tuning of the harp is briefly explained, but not only for this harp, but also for other harps, which can be confusing.

The rest is a few explanations and completely uninteresting pieces, and if the right hand plays "Ringel Ringel Reihe" and the left hand plays a C as accompaniment, then that's copyright and arranged by the harpist (honestly, she's above everyone!).

The instructional videos are jerky Quicktime files (mov) in portrait format (!) filmed to a ticking metronome, the harpist plays the pieces once through to rhythmic clicking without further explanation. Then there are 8 GB playalongs, which I didn't download because the pieces aren't that interesting.

Okay, unfair, because she's a musician, but yesterday evening was a fun scraping and plinking of Christmas carols on various instruments, and if you know a thing or two about stringed instruments, you quickly understand how to play a simple accompaniment with your left hand on the harp and a melody on the right at the same time. Limited by the framework of the C major scale.

Conclusion: The set is okay, but the school is useless, so if you don't need a music stand or tuner: just buy the harp!

According to the description, every single string has a semitone key. In fact, however, the 29-string harp only has them up to string 24.
Otherwise a beautiful instrument with a pleasant sound. The keys move smoothly and the harp stays in tune well.

I gave like gift this harp to my daughter, she is excited and happy because she can study and improve her ability. Shipping was fast and safe, we received all in perfect condition.

I bought the Celtic harp "Cantabile H22" from Kirstein. The product corresponds to what is proposed on the website; it is complete with all the accessories. The instrument, after a correct tuning, has a good timbre, appropriate to its size. The construction material is good. It is also easy to transport thanks to the bag.

Since I could not afford to buy a classical concert harp for many years, I decided to buy a Celtic harp. With 29 strings, this is a great instrument. I was afraid it would sound bad, but no! It sounds good. The harp case is very good: it's quilted inside, with a filler. So I don't have to worry about the temperature the wood is exposed to. The music stand with its own case is also great. Included with the harp were two sets of tuning keys, sets of strings and cloths to wipe them down - great!
Tip: In order for the included tuner to pick up the note properly, you need to place it under the deck from below. The educational sheet music book is designed for beginners. If you already know how to play the harp, it is useless.

A harp over 4 octaves for this price, that is already a highlight. Of course, it does not sound like a concert harp, is well clear. Price / performance is absolutely ok! Unfortunately, I got it in a time of the start of the heating season, so that me within two weeks already two strings are crashed.
