The harper takes one of his lever harps into
the wild and records occasionally.
Don't think this composition will put him on easy street, but I like the sound.
Lever harps are cheaper, smaller, and more portable than pedal harps.\

Those who play lever harps are harpers, not harpists.

We have a lever harp here - mostly decoration. It's our daughter's first one before she got a pedal harp.

I've often thought I should sit down and try to learn how to play...

Lever harps are diatonic. Set the lever for the key of the piece and play. Accidentals take practice.
Sylvia Woods offers a popular teach your self book and a lot more.
