Here's a picture of my harp (36 string Meghan harp, made by Mid-East Mfg. - a nice beginner harp): And here's a picture of the harp I'd like to have some day, if God keeps leading me in this direction with my music... I've been feeling a strong calling to do harp therapy. This is a Lyon & Healy Petite (XP), I'm too small for a concert grand size harp... which would be a pain to carry around anyhow! :rolleyes: (these pics are both from the Harp & Dragon website)

The harp I want (that I pictured) is a Lyon & Healy pedal harp, extra petite size (I'm small)... it's $9,000. But that's still inexpensive for a pedal harp. My best friend is a harpist and has a concert grand pedal harp (she plays in the symphony) and hers costs $20,000! Ack!!!

Nice pic by the way.

I just started harp back in October - it's not my primary instrument (professionally, I'm a flutist and pianist). I really love it!
One of the girls in the harp ensemble I play with just got a Salvi Daphne pedal harp. It's beautiful - great lines, and a warm, rich sound. So I've changed my mind (my dream) from the Lyon & Healy 85XP to the Salvi 
I'm outgrowing my lever harp FAST. I guess it's the strong piano background. Plus, my harp's levers aren't very good.
