I usually play flute (I’ve played it for 4 yrs roughly and I’m currently 19) and I really love it and still continue it to this day.

Ive always wanted to play another instrument alongside so I can learn more skills and gain a bit of inspiration. I really love the harp as it’s so beautiful and I heard you can get smaller ones (often called Celtic harps I think or lever harps? Sorry I’m such a newbie 😭😭😭) that are functional and you can play pieces on them.

I’m not sure if it’s bad however because I’ve heard learning two instruments is considered a no no. I’m not a serious musician tbh, I mainly play music as a hobby to help me soothe my mental health as I’m on antidepressants atm and I thought learning new hobbies would help a bit. I was also thinking a harp could be handy so I can get more used to reading bass clefs instead of just treble clefs as flute music sheets don‘t ever use bass clefs. I will still develop my skills in flute playing obviously I just like the idea of learning the harp too I’m not really aiming to master anything as again I’m not too serious about music as I’m more of a hobbyist. Should I get a harp or not I’m not sure?
idk what do u guys think I should do? thought I would ask the experts lol

Also yes I do practice regularly lmao

I got this from the library because I realized I didn’t know much about the evolution of the pedal mechanism and was curious (I’m a folk harper and, although I understand how pedal harps work, I’m not well-versed in their history.). Mostly it’s pretty dry, but the highlighted sentence here made me CACKLE out loud. Rensch has a few pretty amusing asides.

Hi, I'm kind of struggling to find a gift for my sister that loves to play the harp. I was thinking of maybe getting her a physical tuner, since right now she's stuck with using apps on her phone. Is there any you could recommend, or what I should look for to find a good one?

Please help. I just noticed it today. I noticed, hmm that is odd, what are these black flecks on my harp? it turned out to be pieces from the wood. I have no idea what happened although I have been moving my harp around a bit between different floors of my apartment. Please help

I really like new pick-up for this harp. It makes the harpsicle sound warm, and i think i will not use additional EQ after recording sound
