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.

Sweet....petite....Really Neat! Sorry in a rhyming mood! Seriously, this is a beautiful instrument! The sound is gorgeous! The craftsmanship is superb! I've been wanting to learn how to play this instrument for a long time. Began searching for tutorials and found a very good one on UTube. Just wish it was through McNeela. Looking forward to many hours of learning and playing my baby harp and possibly graduating to a larger one with equal craftsmanship and the sweet timbre of Ireland!

I am soooooo excited with this purchase!! It arrived today, St Patrick's Day!!! Can't wait to begin learning how to play this beautiful instrument. If you can direct me to some good learning resources it would be greatly appreciated! Oh, is it a C instrument? It needs a good tuning. Thank you for once again providing me with a quality instrument at a reasonable cost.

Hi Sandy, thank you for your review of the McNeela Baby Harp. We're so happy it arrived on St Patrick's Day - perfect timing! The instrument may go out of tune while travelling but it's easily retuned using the tuning wrench (included). We are hoping to offer harp lessons in the future but in the meantime take a look at this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B-t9CzaRE1w

I absolutely love this little harp. It is very well-made and has a lovely, resonant sound. The levers are smooth and easy to use, and it is comfortable and not too heavy to play resting on your lap. Just a beautiful instrument all around! Thank you for such a beautiful first harp.

This is a beautiful instrument. I took it to show a luthier friend here in Western New York. He was very impressed with its craftsmanship
