Thomann Celtic Harp Ashwood 19 Str.

Para poner en contexto mi valoración he de decir que no soy un experto en arpas, sino un guitarrista buscando probar un nuevo instrumento.

En mi opinión la relación calidad-precio es excelente. Se trata de un instrumento robusto que he podido afinar sin problemas, únicamente teniendo la precaución de hacerlo lentamente para no romper ninguna cuerda. Además viene equipado con las llaves necesarias para poder hacerlo.

Sin embargo presenta algunas limitaciones. El sonido no es excelente, pero es más que aceptable, teniendo en cuenta el precio del producto. Por otro lado, las llaves de semitono necesitan ser ajustadas, ya que no se consigue subir/bajar el semitono de manera exacta.

En conclusión creo que es un instrumento recomendable si lo que se busca es iniciarse en el arpa o probar un nuevo instrumento.

For the price, this is a great beginner or children's harp, with some caveats.
The strings are cheap (not surprising) so when I first played it, I was underwhelmed. However, I replaced the strings and it sounded MUCH better. (see below)
Pros:
Solid build, good sound, nice look, great case, durable, GOOD LEVERS!
Cons:
Heavy (good and bad), dull strings.

To explain a bit, working levers on a harp this price is AMAZING. This is a chunky, solid harp that would do well with children or special needs where you don't want to worry about damage but want a harp. It also looks surprisingly good.

About the Strings:
The strings that come with this harp are not terrible, they are serviceable but a bit dull. They do not break easily for the price.
Just tune them slowly, to maybe a quarter octave lower and let them rest, then a note lower, etc. For fine tuning, tune like the second hand of a clock, in 5 degree increments.

To have a better sound, I replaced these strings with d'Addario titanium ukulele strings and it sounded MUCH better. Better strings make anything sound better. This harp sounds very nice with high-density carbon or flurocarbon strings. (but they're expensive)
