Triplett Axline Harp in cherry wood. 30 string fully levered harp with tuning wrench, several extra strings, and a padded case. I bought this harp about 8 years ago; took lessons and played for about 6 months. Since then, the harp has been sitting in the case, untouched. There is a very small split in the wood on the backside, due to the very dry weather here although the split does not go all the way through the wood and does not affect the sound of the instrument; I had it checked out at the local folk music store to me sure of this! Hard to notice unless it's pointed out! Otherwise, the harp is in like new condition. The folk music store locally said they'd list it for 3k but I really need to sell it quickly to help finance an adoption, so I'm asking $2,250. Excellent price for a really quality instrument! I'm located in New Mexico and will consider shipping for an additional cost. celtichalo@hotmail.com
