What Is My Old Harp Worth?

As beautiful as old instruments can be, getting these old gems back to their former glory can be extremely expensive. You might be wondering, “what is my old harp worth?”

All old harps have value, but what that price is depends on the instrument’s current condition. Even broken, neglected and deteriorated have value!

With the ever increasing costs of harp repair and rebuilding, a harp owner is faced with the challenge of coming up with a very large sum of money upfront to get their instrument in playable condition again.

Cracks in the soundboard, twisting necks, pulled up baseframes, clicking mechanisms and more can render the instrument unplayable or incapable of keeping correct pitch. Here’s what a harp owner would spend to get a pedal harp back in playable condition:

  • $8,000-10,000+ for a new harp neck

  • $8,000-15,000+ for a new harp soundboard

  • $5,000-8,000+ to fix a cracked baseframe

  • $800-$1,000+ for new strings and a regulation

  • $5,000-8,000+ to fix a clicking or worn out mechanism

In addition to the expense, harp owners must wait years to get their instrument in for repair due to long repair waitlists.

After the long wait and expenses, a harp owner can spend more repairing the instrument to get it into playable condition than what it would cost to buy a new harp with a factory warranty!
