Hape Happy Harp Kid's Musical Instrument | Award Winning Wooden Lap Harp Toy for Kids, Tuning Tips, Tuning Wrench, Picks and Song Sheets Included

Beautiful sound, especially considering that it's my 3 and 6 year olds playing! The 6 year old can play the sheet music that slides under the strings. The 3yo mostly just strums, though he did follow along on one of the simpler songs once. It needs a good bit of tuning (several of the strings are never tight enough when we play again a day after tuning), but it's a simple and quick job.

I would like to return this item but it's just past the return window. It doesn't stay tuned.....very cheaply made. Don't waste your money

We removed the small parts (picks) and used this in the baby's room. He wanted to play our guitar before, but now has this harp. Since 9 months he has used it. We planned to mount it to the wall, but it's been working out on a low stool or floor. Adults love to strum it too. It's very relaxing. It sounds even better tuned but goes out of tune each play time. But it is still relaxing when not perfectly tuned!

I like the construction of the harp, it seem appropriate for a child 5+. The only criticism would be that it was completely out of tune. So the first time a child tries to play it, it sounds awful. What if the parent does not know how to tune it? Maybe a tuning device should be included.

We bought this as a primer for our child who has an interest in playing the harp. We figured this would be a good "intro" to harp. It's alright for a toy, not a true musical instrument. The back veneer has started to peel off and it is very difficult to keep in any reasonable tune. If you're looking for a toy for the kids to play around with, go for it. If you want it for any sort of real music, move on to a different option.

As a piano teacher, I use these zither-type instruments with their slide-in sheet music to teach the students to read music graphically. It's a fun reward at the end of a lesson, or a great frustration-breaker in the middle. I love it that these have nylon strings instead of metal - so much easier to tune. No case, but we keep using the sturdy box with its handle as a case. Tuning wrench and pick included.

This is a really nicely constructed instrument. Definitely high quality. It feels like a professional instrument. It also sounds great. My 2 year old is able to strum it and make some pretty music. Perfect.

Extrememly disappointing :-( I have kids from 4-10 taking music lessons, and especially for my little ones, I was thinking this would be a fun addition to their musical toys and instruments at home. We got this for Christmas, and it sounded awful -- playing the songs included and they were nearly unrecognizable. But we recognized that it just desperately needed a tuning, and since I don't have an ear for it, we asked our piano and music teachers to take a look at it. They both tried tuning it -- could get it perfectly tuned, and within 5-10 minutes it sounded AWFUL again. Our poor piano teacher tried and tried and tried -- one afternoon she tuned it no less than 15 times, and she was shocked how she could tune it, get it sounding great, set it down and come back five minutes later and it was totally out of tune again. She said she'd never seen anything like this. I feel bad both music teachers invested so much of their time into trying to get it to work for my kids, I think they were both just excited about it like we were, and were so disappointed that they couldn't come up with a way for it to even be usable for them. I would've loved to return it, but sadly (and this was our own fault), by the time we realized how hopeless this harp was, we'd already thrown out all the boxes and paperwork with the Christmas boxes. :-( I was just really disappointed, because I thought I was getting something higher quality than this, not just some $10 plaything that I shouldn't expect anything of . . . the kids are disappointed that no matter how hard they try or practice, they can't play a song that sounds good at all.

マンションに住んでいますが、これなら子どもが遊んでもうるさくありません。やさしい音色で、気に入りました。 最初、調律をする必要があるのが、すこし面倒ですが・・・

Cadeau à une petite fille de 6 ans. Elle ne la quitte pas. La musique produite est plutôt agréable à entendre.

We spent at least 45 mins tuning the harp, and it took less than that amount of time for it to go out of tune again. It’s fine for our 8 month old to strum with her fingers but not useful for actually playing songs on.

Es muy bonita, se nota la calidad, no es un juguete, es un instrumento de verdad, para mi el único punto en contra sería que se desafina fácilmente, debes afinarla tu mismo, yo baje aplicaciones para hacerlo con mi celular, todo bien hasta que luego de un rato de tocarla, se desafina y hay que volver a hacerlo. Las cuerdas son de nylon, pero se pueden cambiar, por ahora no tengo inconveniente porque la compré para mi hijo de 4 años, estoy presentándole el instrumento y hasta ahora todo va bien, cabe aclarar que no soy profesional en música, él esta mostrando mucho interés y con el arpa de mesa puede clasificar los sonidos fácilmente, esta tratando de aprender a tocar canciones sencillas y se entretiene bastante. Puedes escribir música tú mismo en hojas para colocar tras las cuerdas y que el niño o niña siga las notas, vienen unas cuantas para empezar, pero puedes usar el template y tocar lo que sea que puedan escribir o buscar en google más canciones para arpas de mesa.

Günstiges instrument, hat einen schönen Klang, man muss ganz sachte den Stimmhebel bewegen, um zu stimmen. Mit einer App z.b. Pano Tuner aus dem Googleplay store ist das kein Problem. Zu beginn muss man öfters nachstimmen.
