The Harpsicle Harp can be played in the key of C and A minor or tuned to any other scale. All Harpsicle Harp music sets are in the Key of C and A minor. Also, there is a lifetime of music already published in these keys. Like the Renaissance harp, the Harpsicle Harp has no Bridge pins so levers cannot be added. This is the perfect harp for beginners or the casual harpist.

I bought this harp for camping - so I could practice while away and not need to take one of my larger and more vulnerable harps. It has a surprisingly pleasing sound and bigger voice than I expected. The string spacing is narrower than larger harps so takes a little getting used to but I have even occasionally used it in jam sessions when I wanted something more portable. If buying for a beginner I would go the extra and get either a sharpsicle or flatsicle to give options for playing in more keys. I am thinking of selling it and buying a flatsicle for camping.

On a bit of whim, I decided to rent the harpsicle the other day after checking out a website called "calming harp". The man offers free lessons on youtube so I thought it would be fun to try as rental fees are affordable. I love the size, weight and feel of this harpsicle. Yes I am a newbie and can't compare it to others, but I know cheap material when I see it as I have guitars and a host of other stuff. The sound is really pretty and as I play it, my family is appreciating the music! I have basic piano experience and it makes the transition to the harpsicle a breeze! I love it and it is now on my wish list!! I am afraid my guitar is going to be sorely neglected as this new friend is much easier to play.

Bought this for my daughter when she turned 9, has absolutely loved it and for such a small instrument has a beautiful sound even when someone is learning to play it.

I have three harps and love this little harp for what it is - light, portable, fits in small spaces and amazingly bright. No it doesn't have levers but I use it for jamming when I don't want to cart something big, for practice to keep fingers nimble and just to lay back and zone out on.

Harpsicles are a good first harp although they lack levers so you have to play in C major/A minor or modes forever BUT they are decently built. The lower strings are a bit 'spongey' (could be firmer but they aren't on these harps). Mid-range & high notes are clear. As these harps use zither type pins which are different than most harps it does take awhile to get used to tuning them. Also the pins are on the left side of the harp (when it is in your lap) rather than the more conventional right side.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
