This portable Pentatonic instrument is a favourite with beginners and children. The Little Minstrel has a soundbox which gives the instrument extra resonance. The Oriental tone has a very relaxing quality, so it is a perfect instrument to put you and your child into a peaceful state before sleep or to accompany a story or lullaby. This is a great instrument for storytellers. You don't have to think of what notes to play. They all work for you! The Little Minstrel is carefully handcrafted and finished with a heart-shaped soundhole. The instrument comes with a shaped case, songbook, tuning key, and stringing information.
Tuning: 2 Pentatonic Octaves: D E G A B d e d g a b d'
Size: 37 x 22 x 7 cm.
"Since adults want a louder instrument than the Kinder Lyre, the Little Minstrel Harp is the alternative learning instrument (and relaxation agent) for those not yet ready for the larger folk harps (with their 8-note scale). Both the Kinder Lyre and the Little Minstrel encourage improvisation, so almost any plucking, stroking and strumming sounds pleasant. And combinations of all three are possible.
The Little Minstrel is a favourite with teachers, storytellers, and older people who always wanted to play an instrument – but never could get around to it. Many people have told me they were drawn to the harp as a child, or they played piano as a child, but haven't played an instrument since. The Little Minstrel is used in hospitals and schools around the country to help bring harmony into the lives of children and the elderly. This is really Harp Therapy at its most fundamental level, for both player and listener". Raphael Weisman
