Celtic harp

Folk harp

Classical pedal harp

This is great if you are a ‘little ones’ and it’s perfect to
learn on.

Another harp type that’s good if you are a ‘little one’ and its great if you are an adult beginner; particularly if you are wishing to move on to a classical pedal harp later in your development. However, you can take up to grade 8 and beyond, if you wish to take grades, on one of these harps. These harps are particularly good in the folk genre.

This is for you if you have plenty of money and a large car! This type of harp has pedals for sharps and flats rather than levers, (which is what the clarsach and folk harps have). If you wish to become a professional harpist, (orchestral and otherwise), a pedal harp would be the harp to work towards.
