Good, Solid Harp for the Price
Kostein 27.12.2020
For the price, this is a great beginner or children's harp, with some caveats.
The strings are cheap (not surprising) so when I first played it, I was underwhelmed. However, I replaced the strings and it sounded MUCH better. (see below)
Pros:
Solid build, good sound, nice look, great case, durable, GOOD LEVERS!
Cons:
Heavy (good and bad), dull strings.

To explain a bit, working levers on a harp this price is AMAZING. This is a chunky, solid harp that would do well with children or special needs where you don't want to worry about damage but want a harp. It also looks surprisingly good.

About the Strings:
The strings that come with this harp are not terrible, they are serviceable but a bit dull. They do not break easily for the price.
Just tune them slowly, to maybe a quarter octave lower and let them rest, then a note lower, etc. For fine tuning, tune like the second hand of a clock, in 5 degree increments.

To have a better sound, I replaced these strings with d'Addario titanium ukulele strings and it sounded MUCH better. Better strings make anything sound better. This harp sounds very nice with high-density carbon or flurocarbon strings. (but they're expensive)

Strong harp but with strings adjusted
Ling 30.04.2021
Never broke so many strings on a harp during the tuning. I find the strings' caliber is too thick.
But I found that by shifting all of them by a 4th (so starting the harp on a C 20), it handles the tension much better and it sounds quite ok using the strings Thomann provides.
Otherwise, strong lever system and strong structure, especially to play outside.

Bon son mais les cordes sont à revoir !
Stéphanie T. 25.06.2018
Toutes les cordes ont cassé pendant l'accordage ( réalisé par une pro, plus de 40 ans d'expérience, c'est dire. ) Autrement, le son est plutôt bon, les palettes sont de bonne qualité. Bois mélaminé de la table plutôt fragile ( déjà quelques éclats), manque de stabilité posée, mais dans l'ensemble j'en suis plutôt satisfaite pour le prix. Voir à acheter deux jeux de cordes d'avance ( les cordes proposées en plus n'ont pas l'air bien fiables non plus : j'ai eu de la casse...beaucoup de casse en l'accordant avec les nouvelles cordes...)

Solides Einsteiger-Instrument
eisenholzschmied 19.06.2018
Eine sehr schöne, kleine Harfe. Ich bin absoluter Anfänger und Autodidakt - dies ist das erste Instrument, an das ich mich herantraue. Schon nach kürzester Zeit konnte ich einfache Melodien darauf klimpern und zu schönem Ambiente am Lagerfeuer oder auf Mittelaltermärkten beitragen. Sie ist solide verarbeitet, hat einen schönen (für die geringe Größe auch recht vollen) Klang und hielt schon nach wenigen Tagen die Stimmung. Einziges Manko ist, dass die Halbton-Haken wohl (zumindest laut Stimmgerät) nicht optimal montiert wurden und da bei einigen Saiten nachjustiert bzw. -gestimmt werden muss und einer der Wirbel nicht so gut in den Stimmschlüssel passt - darüber kann ich aber hinwegsehen. Mein Fazit: Für "rustikalen" Folk und launigen Bänkelsang hervorragende Harfe für "unterwegs", von guter Qualität und durchaus ihr Geld wert.
