FOR SALE: Two Irish harps

FOR SALE: Two Irish harps

Lever harp — 22 strings - 3ft. tall — $200
Small harp — 22 strings - 2.5ft. tall — $100
$250 for both

Tuning wrenches included.

The larger harp has levers to get you into the sharp keys —a very clever system!
The smaller harp plays in whatever scale (usually diatonic) that you tune it in. I found that this smaller harp had the best sound, although I’ve done sessions with the larger lever harp due to its flexibility of key center. The little one has a small chip in its trim (see pic), but comes with a nifty soft case.

I am no harp player! I bought these on eBay fifteen years ago because I needed access to these sound textures; I recall no info as to the manufacturer. They are beautiful instruments, however, and look great just sitting in the corner of the living room.

Here’s some goofing-off with the lever harp, tuned (with the help of the levers!) in a harmonic minor scale:

I would prefer not to attempt to ship these, so the buyer should be near Northern California.
I’m willing to meet halfway if the drive isn’t much more than an hour or so.
