The Hanago MD28 Guitar Harp is an absolute delight! With its 16 strings that beautifully produce 28 notes, it offers a unique and versatile playing experience. The single-fret fingerboard and piano array design make it easy to learn and play, catering to both beginners and experienced musicians. The all-solid wood construction gives it a lovely, rich tone, and the portability with an A4 size makes it convenient to take anywhere. I've enjoyed experimenting with different melodies, and its charming appearance is a great addition to my collection. Highly recommend this guitar harp for anyone looking for a distinctive and high-quality instrument!

Playing this is pretty difficult, not for music beginners. I'd recommend this to a musician looking to try something new and unique. The build quality is very nice, the wood looks fantastic and the stain matches the photos. Be ready to do a lot of researcha and practice to use this, though.

I play guitar and was interesting in what a "guitar harp" might be like. The main thing I want to convey is that there is a steep learning curve to this thing. I guess I would've chosen for the thing to be tuned to an open chord, but it's not.I guess I'm approaching this as though a beginner was picking this thing up. First, you have to tune it - it comes with a tuning key - it has a place for a clip on tuner, and I would recommend one because it was well out of tune when I took it out of the box - the strings were probably slacked for shipping.The execution of playing a second note on most of the strings doesn't work well - you need to press near the nut in a small space behind a "fret" which gives you a half step increase in the pitch. It's uncomfortable and it's difficult to get the note to sound properly.You are provided with a booklet with melodies to a few songs, but nothing about chord formation, which is unfortunate. The strings are close together and overall the sound is underwhelming.If you spent a lot of time you could get good at this thing, I'm sure. It just feels like more work than it's worth and I'm not sure who this is for. Maybe as a guitar player I'm the wrong audience. Maybe a harp player would see this thing differently.It's well made and I don't want to give the impression that quality is an issue, because it's not. For the money I think anyone new to music would do infinitely better by buying a ukulele, which is easy to learn and provides almost instant gratification.

I've never more than messed with a harp once or twice, but play guitar and have some experience with pianos, and this looked to be something that might be fun to use similar to a harp. The overall look of it is nice, and the hardware for the strings is solid. It was shipped with all the strings tuned low (not really tuned to anything) I assume to keep down on stress when it is sitting in the box. I pulled out my tuner and started to try and tune it all up. Which turned out to be long and mostly because my tuner was designed for instruments you plug in, or have a louder resonator, it was a nightmare. The manual, which is pretty good, showed a clip on tuner for tuning it, which it doesn't come with. I spent the extra fifteen bucks to buy a clip on tuner and that made it much easier to tune. There are a lot of strings and I found it a bit more tedious to get them all tuned accurately, and of course a day later it needed to be tuned again (but this is the same with my guitar too, so to be expected).I think my only real disappointment is how quite it is. You have to use a pick to get a solid note out of it which makes playing with your fingers alone not much good for anyone but yourself and not even that if it is very noisy. The other minor annoyance is that I can't find a way to hold it to make it easy to play and used the half notes from the top. I kind of wish they had used the harp system of being able to set each string with a lever so you could have the whole thing tuned to the key you wanted to play. Retuning it would take a long time.I still kind of like it, but I think it could be better.

I just don't like this instrument. It took forever to tune, it's awkward to hold, the frets are extremely hard to press down to get the semitones, and it's hard to keep an even tone. It's alternately too loud plucking the strings, and too low if you try and do it gently. Just don't like this thing at all. Sorry I bought it.It's stashed away, never to be used again, unless I give it away.

well made, looks good and definitely would spark some conversations. I'm still learning with it though and have been checking youtube videos out. Its a cool way to past the time

This is a very beautifully made and elegant looking fingerboard, and even if you're just a tinkerer rather than a trained musician it's a lot of fun to play. The board itself is very attractive hardwood. The strings are not unlike guitar strings -- and will need to be tuned before playing. I ended up using a free app for my phone that shows the frequency and note of a sound, so I could easily march up the fingerboard and loosen or tighten up the pegs to get each string tuned to its note.The set includes a selection of familiar songs to get started, but I'd love to see the development of more music sheets for the fingerboard.
