Plays in 8 different keys (C,G,D,F major and A,E,B,D minor) Since 1972, the Harpsicle harp company has been proudly hand making harps right here in the USA. The Flatsicle Harp is well designed, sturdily built and has the correct string spacing which makes it an excellent selection for a first time harpist. Each harp is backed up by a full one year warranty. Flatsicle Harps are identical to Sharpsicle Harps including the addition of bridge pins on all strings but with modified Robinson sharping levers on the C, F and B strings. This allows the harp to play in 8 different keys (C,G,D,F major and A,E,B,D minor) without retuning. Not to be confused with Chinese imported "harps," Flatsicle Harps have the correct string spacing and maintain tune as soundly as any professional harp. Light and portable, Flatsicle Harps fit in the overhead storage bin or garment closet of most airliners. Even standing to play is possible with a Flatsicle Harp. Flatsicle Harps are so portable, they make chairs optional! These harps are made to order so please allow 4-8 weeks for processing. Harp orders may be changed or cancelled within the first week the order is placed at no charge. After one week, cancellations are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
