Can the lap harp accompany other instruments?
The lap harp as you will see on this site is tuned to the key of G and has a range of 2 octaves. So if the instruments you want to accompany are tuned to G you may have success. Also, this lap harp can be partially re-tuned to play with mountain dulcimers using the number tablature dulcimers use. Specifically, the tunings of Mixolydian key of D (DADD), Ionian key of D (DAA) and key of C. You won’t have 2 complete octaves in these tunings but should be able to play most songs from these sources. Our Advanced Information Pack has the details of re-tuning. It is not recommended to re-tune this instrument except as instructed due to the high probability of string breakage. Also keep in mind that this instrument does not have huge volume as it is a small instrument so its voice may be drowned out unless you amplify it.
