Overview
Plucking ten nylon strings tuned to the biblical scale is the whole idea of this small kinnor harp. It is made by Mid-East with an ash wood body and unfinished surface, and it is sold with a case.
The reason to look at it is the compact traditional design, supplied ready to tune with a tool and a second set of strings. The limitation is a fixed ten-note scale and a seller note that strings carry no warranty, since shipping can shorten their life.
Who it's for
Students and hobbyists drawn to the biblical kinnor will get a travel-friendly instrument with the basics in the package. Players who want chromatic levers or a larger range should look at a lever harp, and buyers should plan to replace strings soon after arrival.
Pros and cons
- Ash wood body
- Tuning tool and extra strings included
- Mellow, traditional sound
- Small and portable
- Ash and rosewood both named for the frame
- No warranty on strings
- Finish listed as unfinished
Performance notes
Nylon strings over an ash soundboard produce the mellow, acoustic tone, and the fixed number of strings limits the notes available. The seller advises changing strings soon after arrival, because transit can shorten their lifespan, and more often for frequent players.
