Yes. Many people still play harp, so it's not a lost art yet. A good way to find harpists/ers is to Google search them in your area. For any Washingtonians who need a harpist, my email is: katherine.galvin@gmail.com

I've been playing for 8 years now, and I have a Triplett 22-string Lap Harp and a Blevins Encore 34, fully levered harp. We're working on the Concert harp. If you have any questions or need more info or would like recommendations of other harpists/ers, please don't be afraid to e-mail me. I'm always happy to help.

Yes, my email is: princess_sandra_2994@Yahoo.com. You can e-mail me about any questions that you may have. I have been playing since I was in third grade, and I play in a few concerts every year, and I have played with a high school orchestra when I was in 8th grade.

I play a harp and it does take a while to get the hang of it, but, it depends on who is teaching you and how quick you are at learning new things. I've been playing for 4 years (i started when i was 10) and iv only started braking out and performing solo...and I'm still not all that good! Hope this kinda helps :)

um, i don't know for sure, but im pretty sure it's a harpist. I think I've heard that term used before.

In the Classical Music world, they're called "harpists". Those who play Folk Music sometimes refer to themselves as "harpers". It's a fuzzy rule, though, because there are quite a few who play both.

Yes! Harps are regularly used in symphony orchestras. Professional harpists also play solo harp at restaurants and private parties and give concerts. Amateur harpists usually play in small ensembles of traditional instruments.
