The Lap Harp from the Harpsicle Harp Co.

Wm. Rees' new amazingly low priced harps, made in Indiana, USA, by people paid a living wage and receiving full medical and dental benefits.

•  33 inches tall
•  4.5 pounds
•  26 strings, from C an octave below middle C to G, 2½ octaves above.

Great for beginners and good  for budget-minded advanced players needing a highly portable  lap harp.

This happy harp comes in flavors (colors, click the picture to the left to see the with nuts, licorice, raspberry and maple versions in detail): cherry (red), grape (purple), raspberry (pinkish purple), blueberry (blue), marshmallow (white), lime (green), licorice (black), and silver. Harpsicles won't melt in a warm house, but like all harps, you should keep them out of direct sunlight.

Included with each Harpsicle is a Korg electronic chromatic tuner, a How to Play instruction booklet, strap buttons and a tuning wrench. Every Harpsicle comes with a one year warranty. Harpsicle sticks (a horizontal bar that rests on the knees and attaches to the harp to stabilize it), wrappers (soft cases), tutti frutti straps (that attach to the strap buttons) and spare string sets are extra, but are similarly low priced.

A Sharpsicle (with C and F tuning levers) and a stand have also been developed (click on photo to see closeup).

•  Harpsicle $295
•  Stick $25
•  Wrapper $50
•  Strap $6
•  Spare string set $36
•  Stand $40
•  Sharpsicle $495

Preserve a tradition. Grow roots, significance, harmony and balance.
