Harp · lever & pedal

The most rare of the orchestral strings. Lever (Celtic / folk) harp is easier and more affordable for beginners and kids; pedal harp is the orchestral instrument. Decide which before you call a teacher.

⚠️ Honest reality: Google Maps surfaces very few harp teachers because most are conservatory faculty or solo professionals without business listings. The American Harp Society · Boston Chapter teacher referral list (linked in the tip box below) is the single best route.
