I am loving my new Bass Double Strung lap harp made by Marini Made Harps. I also got the brand new Forte levers for it. www.marinimade...
Since it is a very new design by the Marini's I wanted to make a detailed video so others could see exactly what it was like. I wanted to explain why I wanted a double strung harp in general, and why I chose this harp over others, even over the Marini's regular double strung harp.
Since I ended up making the video so long (so much to say 😃) I added time stamps to make it easier if you are looking for some specific information.
