Our Baby Harp Product Highlights
Learn the Basics with the 12 String Baby Harp!
With just 12 strings, spanning a one and a half octave range, the McNeela Baby Harp is ideal for learning the basics of traditional Irish music. You can focus on perfecting your right hand melody playing, developing finger dexterity, navigating the levers and mastering basic technique, before moving on to a 27 or 34 string harp.
What is a Baby Harp?
Baby harps are similar in appearance and playing technique to the full size harp - the main difference is its smaller size and range. Baby harps usually measure approximately 21 inches (53.34 cm) in height, and feature only 12 strings. This gives the baby harp a range of roughly one and a half octaves. The McNeela Baby Harp is fully levered, allowing for easy changes of key, and chromaticism.
An Excellent Sound
McNeela instruments are built to sound good right from their very first note, and our miniature Irish harp is no exception. This harp has a bright, clear resonant tone, and it holds its tuning well so you won’t have to spend hours re-tuning your strings. It’s important to start out on an instrument that sounds good as it will really give your playing a boost. It makes practising much easier and far more enjoyable when you like what you hear.

Small but mighty. Not just for children, although my small person has found it so easy to accompany her elegant lilt. Easy to tune up, and with only minor adjustments for two days as the strings settled in, it now holds its tuning brightly. I found my rubber covered tuning wrench for threaded pegs the best tool for tuning. . So easy to play, and as the strings are spaced traditionally, a perfect harp to learn on..you don’t have to adjust your muscle memory if you move on to a larger one. So nice to carry around, I like to set it on a table and stand up to play with it just leaning on my shoulder. It goes everywhere with me now, I absolutely adore this harp, it’s getting a lot of play, and deeply thank McNeela for their attention to detail in making such a quality instrument. So glad I didn’t opt for a cheaper one made here in the States. Oh, and the shipping was so fast! It’s gig bag is great, but I also used The shipping box now covered in the miles of bubble wrap it came in with and gold “emergency blanket” for temperature protection with sturdy pretty material over the top to make a temperature safe carry box for deep freezing winter or hot summer days for car transport, and to give it further protection while camping at music festivals. The superior quality of McNeela Instruments will bring me right back to them should I ever want another instrument . Thanks guys!!

This is a beautiful instrument, and has a great musical tone. I play piano and guitar, so I've been able to play chords as well as melodies on my harp, even though there are no instructions included with the harp. My next step may be a bigger harp, but even if it isn't, I'm enjoying my baby harp and anticipate playing and learning on it with great enjoyment.
