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.
