Impossible to tune

2008-03-29
This is unbelievably poorly designed. It uses a single string to span two notes making it impossible to tune and keep in tune. You can get a better sound out of some wooden mixing spoons and 99 cent buckets from the hardware store. It's such a waste, I don't even want to give it away.

very disappointed

2006-12-31
I bought this for my son for xmas. I was very dissappointed in it. Usually I love First Act instruments. But this one was seriously out of tune when we opened the package. After trying to tune it myself with their tool I took it to my local music store for them to tune. No matter what she did the instrument wouldn't stay in tune. She finally gave up trying to tune it to the notes they said it was supposed to be tuned to and just generally tuned it so at least it was in tune to itself. By the next day it was out of tune yet again. I was really disappointed and have since started looking for a better quality lap harp..which in case you decided to look else where, is also called a hog nosed psaltery.

Lap Harp

2006-12-25
The First Act Discovery FG500 Lap Harp comes with 10 printed cards of marked notes for nursery rhymes and some other songs that are not most desired choice for play. The chords are too simplified to make the lap harp a desireable instrument for even a child. The recommendation would be to package or make available a CD or book like other First Act instruments with varing degrees of difficulty. That is the feature that I enjoy the most of First Act--their instructive CDs and books. The instrument is of good quality with a tuning key and pick.
