theavantgardener-deactivated201 asked: I was at my friend's guitar shop the other day and he had two Lanikai baritone ukes in stock. I played around with one for awhile and was pretty surprised how enjoyable it was. Now if only he'd stock Celtic harps...
This is not a question, yet I will proceed to click the "Ask" button.
That’s okay, you can functionally consider this response not an answer: Cool, and yes, aren’t they enjoyable? I often recommend them as a side instrument to friends who already make music.
As creative tools, celtic harps are totally more awesome and require totally more work to learn to play. Learning proper hand positions, tuning 32 strings, and getting used to switching levers to change keys is a lot of time and effort, and it can be frustrating. The sound makes it all worth it, though. If only I had the time (and room space) to properly teach myself the ways of the harp… it will happen… in time.
Wood and strings in general make me very happy.
