Äolis Klangspiele Mandala Harp

Excellent build quality, sounds beautiful, looks very good, easy to play

I got this instrument as I wanted something easy to to compensate the demanding practice of my beloved classical flute , which is magnificent, but quite difficult and unforgiving, and not always enjoyed by my neighbors.

The magic of pentatonic instruments like this one is that one can vitrually play anything, it will always sound good. Ideal for relaxing and letting go, meditate, play around...

This harp is a little jewel made by the talented master instrument maker Stefan Rössier. German quality at its best : very beautiful, inviting, solid instrument, delightful and easy to play.

Heavy enough to notice its solid, comforting quality, light enough to feel comfy and cosy on your lap or chest. Extremely pleasant to look at, with its soft curved shapes and its warm yet gentle colors. I love it :)

The sound is beautiful. Pure and airy. Volume variations can easily be achieved by adjusting the way one hits the cords. It won?t disturb people around the player and neighbors won't notice it (very important for me as I live in a shared building).

All in all : excellent pentatonic harp, great build quality, pleasant look, very easy to play. I can definetly recommand it and I am very curious about the other instruments of Äolis !
