A beautiful new lap harp with extra bass strings!! Join me as I open it up and try it out for the first time. This harp has 4 extra bass strings compared to most lap harps, and a nice large sound box which gives the sound depth and fullness... it sounds similar to a floor harp! Let me know if you have any questions, because I'm planning a comparison video between this harp and some other lap harps. Thank-you for the amazing gift, Marini Made Harps!

Loved watching this - took me back to when I got my Bass Lap harp almost 5 years ago. Like you folks, I couldn’t stop stroking the wood, it was so beautifully made. I love the bass so much, I’ve started tuning the low F down to E. It handles that extra half step just fine, the lever gives me back an F, and I find I use a low E far more than I use a low F#.

I got to play some Marini harps for the first time at Sommerset last year. They're lovely! I also resonated a lot with what you said, Christy-Lyn, about it being nice to have a small harp to play at home - I have lots of lovely floor harps in my studio, but it's really nice to have something a bit more portable just to play for fun in the evenings, or on the front porch or whatnot.

@LearningtheHarp Месяц назад

Yes! It's so nice to have that option for something more portable 🙌🏼

Thank you, Christy-Lyn. I am still working through the content on your Beginner Harp program, though I have been a beginner now for a few years ;-) I am looking to upgrade from my Sharpsicle and am considering this particular harp. Thank you for playing it for us. I love the deep tones!

Beautiful Christy! I would love to play it. I actually didnt met really good lap harp in my country not mentioning bad lap harp. Im really interested in these and later I will definetelly explore bass lap harps in my own harpmaking. Tomáš

@lindaswope 2 месяца назад

Wonderful! I love my Marini. Mine has 26 strings. I wish I had just a few more, but I love it just the same. It does have a very full sound and stays in tune quite well. You are going to love it! Congratulations!

That was my first harp and I still love it❤ I bring it along on road trips so I can practice 🤗. Thanks Christy for sharing.

That's amazing! It's such a great portable harp 💚

@ashleyullmann3691 2 месяца назад

That’s lovely Christy-Lyn! That’s quite a lot of sound out of a 28 string harp; how unique and beautiful! That stand was quite special looking too. Lol about the bubble wrap😅!

@LearningtheHarp 2 месяца назад

Haha 😄 Yes it’s a unique harp with a beautiful sound! The stand definitely extends the sound a bit too, which is really cool.

@MonicaHWWT 2 месяца назад

My first harp was a 28 string Christina by Triplett Harps here in California. I love the design of the Marini stand and soundbox. It won't be long and you'll actually have a lap for it to sit on! Be well!

@leeki345we 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the unboxing video! I wonder if you ever play double string harps. I only have a Harpsicle 26 strings for now but very curious about other lap harps as well. I really wanted to buy this Marini made bass harp once and also other double strung harp from Marinimade but I live abroad so just ended up drooling😅. It seemed a lot of work for me + extra cost(not sure how much it would be but) to get an harp shipped from another country.

@LearningtheHarp Месяц назад

Hello, Carrie here! It really is an amazing harp. I can totally understand being hesitant about the oversees costs, but I think it's worth reaching out to Marini just to see what the cost would be if you're really interested! I personally have not played double strung harps but I would love to 🤩

@AbsoluteApril 2 месяца назад

Beautiful new harp addition, I'm so happy for you! I recently started trying to teach myself the harp, thank you so much for your channel! I got a flatsicle with 4 bass strings, I love the depth of sound they add. This one you just got is amazing!

@LearningtheHarp Месяц назад

Best of luck on your harp journey! Let us know if we can help in any way 🌟

@kathilisi3019 2 месяца назад

Oh wow!!! That's a harp I'd love to try. It's beautiful! Same number of strings as my new lap harp (a "Gimli" from German harp maker Klaus Regelsberger), but a third lower still. I looked into the Marini Bass lap harp before I bought mine, but I didn't dare to order one from overseas sight unseen. Congratulations!!

@LearningtheHarp 2 месяца назад

Ja I understand your hesitation! Also nice to support harp makers close to you. This harp is such fun to play, I wish you could try it! It takes a bit of adjustment for me to make use of the bass strings because I’m used to harps ending on C, but I particularly love the sound and tone of it! Very warm and gentle but bigger sound than a lap harp usually has.

@kathilisi3019 2 месяца назад

@@LearningtheHarp I've actually adapted a couple of arrangements to make use of my harp's full range (down to A), and I'm surprised by how much extra freedom those 2 extra strings give me! I'm sure quite a few of your "big harp" arrangements would fit on the Marini with hardly any changes. And I know that you used to play a lot of Anne Crosby Gaudet's pieces, her piece "flying free" is one of my favourites on lap harp. I had to adapt the final chord, but it might actually work on yours! Btw, my arrangement of "The last unicorn" would be perfect for this harp, too! 😉

@karissathatcher9206 2 месяца назад

Haha, I love your thoughts about the pillowcase! :D Torn between protecting the wood or protecting your curls... I can relate! ;) The wood work is gorgeous. And yes, a lap harp comparison video would be great!

@LearningtheHarp 2 месяца назад

I’ve actually started using it for my curls the last few days… 😂 But no conclusion yet about whether it’s helping 🤔 Will have to keep testing!

@karissathatcher9206 2 месяца назад

@LearningtheHarp 😆 I hope you get good results! I've used a silk pillowcase for years, and it has definitely helped me! I haven't tried satin.

Thank you! I've got a Marini Bass Minstrel 27 with Marini collapsible wood stand. As a retired person no longer into lifting heavy harps, I love mine for its very full sound in a compact, extremely lightweight harp. Another bonus, mine stays very well in tune even with temperature changes; it behaves. Took it on snowy Christmas eve to church, a 20 min carr ride. At church it didn't require a retune like my other harp would demand after home, car, church transport. Unlike large soundbox on yours, BM27 has a compact straight soundbox. I love using extended bass to accompany my voice. I would love if you'd do a small harp comparison. Always wondered what the bass Marini with curved ergonomic soundbox sounded like so thank you for letting me hear one through your video. I'm watching you from the USA. Enjoy your lovely new harp! ❤

@PastorShawn100 2 месяца назад

Nice addition! I recently bought a Musicmakers Sonnet. It's 29 strings, and I had it strung A-A rather than C-C and I love the added two bass notes! I have been pleasantly surprised with the tone and how comfortable it is to play. These harp builders are doing incredible things!

@LearningtheHarp 2 месяца назад

Very true!! It’s so exciting to see the new harps coming out, with endless creativity! 🤩

@Amac07 2 месяца назад

What a lovely harp! You may want to look into getting something like strap locks. I played guitar for years and never played without them. They secure the straps to the harp so it doesn't slip out.

Hehe, my baby boy has a name… but my harp does not 👀 😁 I’ve never really gelled with any ideas for naming my harps. I always think it’s sweet when other people name their harps, but I always just end up referring to them by their model name

Another beautiful harp with a wonderful sound! What is the pin on the left side of the harp (3:20) for? May I ask how tall you are? I vote for a comparison video.

@poohwol10 2 месяца назад

Having played in a bell choir for many years, the sound & tone quality of this MMH reminds me of one of the “waste basket bells!” Rich, warm & quite bell-like sound! Surprisingly big sound…at least on my tablet. 🤭. Yes, please do a comparison video! At least with your Fullsicle! Do you have other lap harps to join the fun?

@LearningtheHarp 2 месяца назад

I have another harp coming soon that will make a good comparison 👀 🎉 And also the Harpsicle, yes!

@mbnorris73 2 месяца назад

Very nice!!! I have a Marini Made 10 string harp…and after about a year I was ready to try a 34 string from Dusty Strings. I played your Moon River at the recital last October. I’m playing a harp duet with my instructor at Saturdays recital. What amp will you use with this harp? I have a pickup on my Ravenna 34 and just did purchase a Fender Rumble 40 amp. It is lightweight and the ladies at the memory care facility where I play weekly approved! You have inspired me more than you know!!! Thank you!!! I’m retired and enjoying my new adventure with harp playing!!!🥰🥰

@LearningtheHarp Месяц назад

Hello, Carrie here! I'm filling in for Christy-Lyn at the moment 😃I hope the recital went well on Saturday 💚 Personally I'm not familiar with that amp - I use the Fishman loud box mini and I like it a lot! Very portable and is battery operated. Best of luck on your harp journey, we're so glad you're here!🤗

@mbnorris73 Месяц назад

@@LearningtheHarp Thank you Carrie! I would have preferred the amp you have but it was quite a bit pricier. The recital went well! I was nervous and lost focus once during the duet but quickly found her. Today the memory care unit where my Mom is has a botanical garden set up for the residents to walk through after their dinner. They asked me to play from 6-7 this evening for that. Shewee! 🥰 I was honored to be asked. I love sharing music!

@GreenRose242 2 месяца назад

@LearningtheHarp Oh wow that is super cool!!! I used to play guitar as a child and I am looking into retaking my lessons again and in the meantime I am learning from RU-vid tutorials which are very helpful. How amazing that you and your husband both play a great musical instrument!! Your beautiful baby boy will come into a world of music! God bless you and your family and sending lots of love ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

@About_foodie 2 месяца назад

Hello do you recommend this harp brand or Harpsicle harps for beginners?

@LearningtheHarp 2 месяца назад

It depends on your budget - Marini is more expensive but you get an amazing sound 😊

@karlaarndt1321 2 месяца назад

Does that metal label at the top of the sound box irritate your shoulder? I was surprised that it was right where it rests on your body.
