Harfenforum und Wiki

Well it is a bit tricky to get a harp for donation. The Harps are also not that cheap in germany. Mhh maybe the http://www.klangwerkstatt.de has some "prototype harps" that they don't sell but maybe would give away for free. However I am quite sure that you have to pay the shipping. If it is a donation you would not have to pay tax I think.

Hope you will find your harp. What is with the USA there are a lot of associations. Maybe it is possible to find that way a harp.

Dear Harpists,

Good morning. I´m very glad for getting to know this forum. I am looking forward to having my own pedalharp or even a second-hand one, however, I cannot afford to buy one. In Brazil we do not have factories/suppliers of harps. Harps have to be imported. The import taxes are extremely high and the Brazilian currency doesn´t help either. I feel very frustrated having no possibility to have my own harp. I can only practice during my classes.

Well, I kindly thank you for any information you have on whom I could write to in order to request a donation. For the last years I have contacted many people but it was not successful. Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch und moechte voraussichtlich dankbar sein.

Best regards,
