Product Description
The easiest of all instruments to play. Requires no lessons. Just follow the music on the sheet below the strings and pluck each note following the connecting lines and you play the song! For ages 12 and older. Distinctive beautiful Dogwood Flower soundhole rosette is laser cut solid wood. The frame is solid wood. AND most importantly the pin block is rock maple. This hard wood helps holds the tuning and prevents the pin hole from wearing out. It still needs to be tuned periodically and we have instructions and a link to online video to make it an easy process. We use 3 string sizes for proper tension for best sound. Optional 19 different music packs. Songs include: Amazing Grace Scarborough Fair Oh Susanna When the Saints Go Marching In In the Good Old Summertime She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain This Train On Top of Old Smoky Suwannee River By the Light of the Silvery Moon You Are My Sunshine Sounds of Silence.

Both of my sons are musically inclined, so they love it just as a novel item to learn how to play. My other children and I like how it sounds pretty and how music sheets help us follow along like on a kids piano playing simple tunes. Except these tunes, like Scarborogh Faire, don't seem so simple, despite being simple enough to follow along. I also bought the Music Maker Beatles music sheets, which fit perfectly. We plan to buy some Music Maker Disney songs and TK O'Brien's folk music as well, though my two boys have learned to pick out tunes and find great things to emulate on You Tube.
After looking around and finding this TK O’Briens one, I bit the bullet and purchased it! OH my goodness, the difference in sound is striking! The quality of wood is also notably better.
We also purchased a carrying case which is padded and I highly recommend that!
One thing I hoped was that the music maker sheet music would fit into this lap harp and I can say that confidently IT DOES! I will be purchasing ALL the music!
My oldest two (of 5 kids) are thoroughly loving playing songs for hours on end, and the sounds feeling my home or peaceful and beautiful!
I think the thing we love about it most is that it’s instantly gratifying to play!
DON’T HESITATE! If you’re in the market for a lap harp, this is the one for you!
Note: I actually bought it for an elderly person who is confined to bed. The only improvement I could suggest would be maybe some kind of tiny ledge or something on the bottom of the instrument so that the cards don't keep sliding out for someone who is not able to sit upright while playing it.
