Yes I live in Asia, in the same country as Aoyama harps. I thought Aoyama harps only make concert harps but it looks like maybe I was wrong, they require you to request a catalog to see their full line of harps such as the 26 string harp. I have even passed through the city they are produced in several times not realizing it until now. I hope Aoyama harps are more reliable than Artone as I have decided I am not going to consider an Artone anymore.
yes I know it mentioned Taiwan, I edited my comment if you noticed, because I noticed that after I posted the comment that it did mention Taiwan, you were fast to respond before I could edit my comment. But I don’t know how reliable that wikia source is, I just wonder if there is anyone who personally has tried/had an Artone to give their opinion.
I live in a country where there is only one company/maker of harps but they only make concert sized harps, no 26-23 string harps. So I basically would need to import one/buying online. The harp selection at the stores here sells mostly those junky Mid-east harps, and then the Artones.
Biagio- That’s comforting to hear that is not as loud as listening to a cd or radio at a reasonable decibel level. It reassures me that it might be a good instrument choice for an apartment rather than a guitar, flute or any other loud instrument. I cannot hear the tv, music, or any sounds from the neighbors above or on either sides of me, all my neighbors have little kids, toddlers and babies and I never hear a single scream, cry, voices, music, machines running, etc. from any of the neighbors. Toddlers, little kids and babies cannot possibly keep quiet 24/7, one of the families has 3 little boys on the side facing my bedroom, the walls and floor have really good soundproofing in this apartment because I never hear the boys. So hopefully a harp cannot even be heard by the neighbors.
wil-weten Thanks for the link to backyard music harp kits, I think I am going to order one of those harp kits (currently the apartment kit one is out of stock) so I might have to wait a bit to get the apartment kit, or order the Celtic harp kit instead but I think most definitely I am going to buy one of these harp kits. What kind of music would I like to play? Well a range of types of music like classical music, Celtic songs, and video game songs (ones that have harp music songs or classical influence, specifically Castlevania, Zelda, Final Fantasy and Lufia). The 27 string harpsicle from Rees Morgan Meghan is stunning and so is the Ravenna but both out of my budget at 1,000-2,400 dollars, I really wish I could afford the 27 string harpsicle, well maybe in the future but my first for now will have to be a more reasonable one.
harpist-123 You are lucky your neighbor was so kind and enjoyed your harp playing, not all people are that nice about other neighbor’s noise.
