19-String 2.5 Octaves Chelby Levers Under 9 lbs Beginner-Friendly Ideal for: Adult beginners, young students, and players who want a portable first harp Where many harp players begin. The Pixie Harp is sized for comfortable playing whether you are an adult beginner or a younger student. At just under 30 inches tall and about 8.7 pounds, it's light enough to carry to lessons and small enough to live in your living room without taking over, but capable enough that you won't outgrow it quickly. It comes in two frame woods that share the same strings, levers, and soundboard: an engraved and inlaid rosewood, or a natural-finish lacewood. Sound Design & Levers Getting Started Specifications In the Box Clear, Bright Tone with Real Projection Nineteen DuPont hard nylon strings cover 2.5 octaves from F3 to C6, enough range for hundreds of songs, exercises, and arrangements. A solid wood frame paired with a Finnish birch plywood soundboard produces a clear, bright tone with noticeably good projection for the harp's size. About the strings: DuPont hard nylon is the standard on quality lever harps. It holds tuning well, feels comfortable under the fingers, and produces a focused tone that cuts through in both solo playing and small ensembles. Chelby Levers Make All the Difference Every string has its own Chelby sharpening lever, so you can change keys on the fly without retuning. The Chelby design engages the string from the side, which prevents strings from lifting off the bridge pins, a common frustration with cheaper lever designs. Red and blue caps on the C and F levers make navigation intuitive, and each lever can be fine-tuned with a hex wrench for precise intonation. Why Chelby levers matter: Cheap levers can buzz, slip, or pull strings out of position when engaged. Chelby levers are engineered to stay precisely in place and deliver a clean half-step every time, which is exactly what you want when you are learning. Designed to Make Learning Easier Color-coded strings (red for C, blue for F, clear for all others) make learning to play significantly easier. You can find your position on the strings at a glance, which is a huge help when you are working through your first pieces or sight-reading from sheet music. The harp ships set up, a few small tuning adjustments with the included tool, and you are making music. New to harp? The color-coded strings are the same system used in harp education worldwide. Red = C, blue = F. Once you know those two anchor points, everything else falls into place naturally.
