Lewis Creek Jessie or Nightingale lap harp

[Candace C.]

I had a Nightengale that I regret selling many years ago. I bought a Stoney End Even Song and really hated playing it. It was so lightweight that every time I playing 1st finger, it would leave my shoulder. Very lightweight harp so probably great for music therapy if you’re setting the harp on the patient.

The Nightengale wasn’t as light but I just loved the sound. I saw my harp a decade later on consignment at The Virginia Harp Center. Maybe find what harp shops are nearby or willing to ship and ask them to contact you when a small harp comes in?

Just read your post. When you say the Even Song was light, are you speaking of tension or weight of harp? How was the tension between the Even Song and Nightingale?

[Candace C.]

Yes the weight of the Even Song was so light that I found it difficult to play. I can’t speak to the string tension in comparisons, unfortunately, as I bought the Even Song 5 years after selling my Nightingale. I sold the Even Song 3 years ago. Both were very light tension. I would buy another Nightingale in a heartbeat. Great sound!
