Detail 01
Maple body
Dense and bright, so notes stay separate rather than blurring together — helpful when learning to hear your own mistakes.

Rees HarpsHarpsicle Harp Natural Maple
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Entry lever-harp-body instrument in natural maple at $580. For beginners starting harp who want a real instrument without pedal-harp size or price.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First harp for a student starting lessons
- Apartments and small rooms where a floor harp won't fit
- Players who mostly stay in one key per piece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing mid-piece key changes — step up to the Sharpsicle
- Anyone expecting the volume and range of a full-size harp
- Players who want to sight-read pedal harp repertoire as written
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Natural finish
Clear over the maple, so grain shows and instruments vary slightly in color from one to the next.
Detail 03
Harpsicle size
Small enough to hold on the lap and carry one-handed, which makes daily practice more likely to happen.
Detail 04
$580 versus the $850 Sharpsicle
The gap is sharping levers. Skip them only if your music stays in one key.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Budget for a tuner and tuning key if not included
- 02The $60 Harpsicle stand is separate; lap playing works too
- 03New harps drift out of tune often until the strings settle
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good first harp?
Yes for a beginner learning technique and simple repertoire. If your teacher assigns music with key changes, the Sharpsicle suits better.
02How is it different from the Sharpsicle?
The Sharpsicle adds sharping levers for raising strings a half step. This one is the same family without that hardware, at $270 less.
03Can I add levers later?
Adding levers is a job for a harp technician, and the labor makes it a poor value against buying the Sharpsicle outright.
04Does it come with a stand or case?
No. The stand is a separate $60 purchase. Plan carrying and storage separately.
