If you are looking to buy or sell a harp, you may want some guidance as to the general quality of the instrument. The aim of this service is to inspect all technical aspects of the harp with a 'fine tooth comb', and give you a condition assessment based on my knowledge & experience. This service is available for both pedal and lever harps.

​

This is inclusive of, but not limited to, inspecting and commenting on the:

• soundboard

• neck

• column

• base frame & base board

• wood joints

• action mechanism

• pedalling components

• levers & hardware

• strings

• cosmetics

• sound quality​

​

Condition assessments conducted in-person are much more thorough and accurate. However I also do offer inspections via Zoom/Video Call. All condition assessments are confidential.

 

Please note that I will not comment on current market value. This report cannot be used as an official appraisal for insurance purposes.

Australian Market Value 

Please contact your local harp dealer for advice. Sometimes they may ask for a recent Condition Assessment to provide a more accurate figure.

​

Appraisals for Insurance

Please contact your harp manufacturer with your harps make, model and serial number. If that is not possible (eg. if the maker is no longer producing harps) please contact me directly and I'll help you out.
