Just brought a harp from Affairs of the Harp and it was a wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable, super friendly and brilliantly patient with a fairly new beginner. Highly recommended if you want to have great service and a lovely chat as well!

I have just bought my second harp from this wonderful business. I needed to upgrade to a really good quality concert harp. Ms McMahon, with her years of expertise as a professional musician and her knowledge of the instrument, was able to guide me perfectly.
