Your particular harp is wonderful, Carolyn!.....And in its sound there is something heavenly, that reachs immediately the soul!.....And who plays the harp, double strung or normal, is somebody that has got Heaven in his Being!... Happy to meet you here, Carolyn, and allow me to tell you that Heaven is on your serene face too!....A warm CIAO from an old italian musician in Rome !....

[@Smilingharp]

Thanks my friend! Do you play harp also?

[@Smilingharp]

On a fully levered harp, if it is tuned in C when all the levers are down, then lift the B's and E's for Disney Tuning. Basically any key you are in, lift the 3rd and 7th note 🌸

[@cathrinestephansen1585]

Love your face during the different tunings, you're really enjoying playing around on that harp! Now I really want one.

[@Smilingharp]

[@Smilingharp]

welcome to the world of harp!

[@Diegoyoutube24]

I'm sold! Thanks!

[@Smilingharp]

Ha ha! If you want to get on the wait list for one, email me and I'll give details. No deposit and you can back out any time. [e-mail]. This harp totally changed my life. :-) Carolyn

[@catholicdoula]

Oh, love the Aladdin tuning. LOL. But if I didn't have levers I could just tune it to that too.

[@catholicdoula]

Tuned in C - b and e - disney tuning.

[@catholicdoula]

Clarify the Aladdin tuning - is that if the harp is in C - add D and F levers?

[@wholovesyababy5574]

Which is more important: to have the F at the bottom, or the G at the top?

[@Smilingharp]

There are LOTS of differences between the 2 harps, such as sustain, string tension, clarity, etc. Even the age of the listener makes a difference in the way they sound, due to age related hearing loss starting in the higher frequencies. I will send you a PDF I made explaining in detail. You can email me at [e-mail]. Happy harping! Carolyn

[@wholovesyababy5574]

What do you think of the Loralea which goes from F to F? You get a lower note.

[@Smilingharp]

Way more differences than that. I can send you detailed info via email - [e-mail]

[@everymomentastory1577]

How do you decide between a walnut or cherry?? Lol I want both! Can you do a video featuring both at the same time… it’s hard when there is not a shop anywhere nearby to try.

[@Smilingharp]

I can send you Mp3's of both, which is a great way to compare. Email me at [e-mail]. I have a cherry Lorraine that has just been completed, that is unusual to not need to wait! It will probably go pretty fast. I may have a walnut too, not yet levered. I have to check on that. email me! [e-mail] Happy harping, Carolyn

[@Smilingharp]

I can send you MP3's - email me at [e-mail]

[@catholicdoula]

I would love not to worry about levers. So, how much Lorraine no levers?

[@Smilingharp]

email me at [e-mail], that is easier! See you soon! Carolyn

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

Can these harps be purchased tuned to 440?

[@wholovesyababy5574]

Did you say that, in C, you raised the Bs and the Es for the Disney tuning? I'm confused. So you have two Cs and two Fs?

[@jihad1251]

Yes, so there will only be 5 notes in the scale (repeats aren’t counted) C, D, F, G, A, then C again

[@organist1982]

Yes, that's correct, in essence. Technically, you get the scale of F, G, A, B#, C, D, E#, F, in which the B# and E# are enharmonics of C and F, respectively. Doing that gets rid of all the half-steps which gives that "Disney gliss" sound!

[@Denise-SA]

Is the double-strung harp *tuned* at 440 (like I would tune a single-strung harp)? I assume it is, but with the double row of strings, and the tension on the soundboard, I was just wondering if it is tuned to the same? Thank you.

[@Smilingharp]

yes, Denise.

[@catholicdoula]

I want one of these. LOL. How much? :)

[@Smilingharp]

$3799 fully levered email me at [e-mail] so I can share details.

[@Janlaurenz75]

nice :)

[@norinestewart6815]

How much does it weigh?

[@Smilingharp]

about 18 pounds

[@PeaceLoveMoneyPrepare]

Is this harp a Stoneyend harp?

[@Smilingharp]

Yes. I'm a distributor of their doubles 🌸 [e-mail]

[@PeaceLoveMoneyPrepare]

@@Smilingharp Nice.

[@reginaldbarnes632]

My harp teacher told me to tune my harp to an E flat major scale. Is that what you’re doing?

[@Smilingharp]

I used to do that with single strung harps. Since the Lorraine ends on a G, I tune the harp in C and play in that and the sharp keys. I like to have as many open strings as possible. And there are so many things you can do with double strung, you don't have to have as much key variety as with single. However I know several Lorraine owners who tune in Eb major.
