I love everything about this harp, and one of the things I like most is the consistency of tone quality. Playing it is a sensual experience, like cutting through soft butter or snuggling into smooth suede. The resonance is so rich that the Ceili almost seems amplified. The light string tension is easy on my hands. The velvety sound quality of the Ceili has me noodling and enjoying my harp experience more, constantly composing. It definitely brings out my creativity. I love the extreme light weight and portability, and gorgeous profile. It stands well on its feet and fits into a small car! Thanks, Dave and Sharon -- you have come up with a jewel that will fulfill many harper's dreams."

I absolutely LOVE my gorgeous Ceili harp!! I got one with folk gut strings and the sound is superb, so warm and luscious! The harp is also so comfortable to play- I feel I could go on for hours, without fatigue or pain and that is huge for someone with musculoskeletal issues like me. After putting on some new strings, I just finished regulating the harp- MYSELF! I couldn't believe how easy it was! I love the Camac levers on the Ceili! And, I can't say enough good things about the Thormahlens' customer service. They will bend over backwards to make sure the customer is totally satisfied! Thanks Sharon and Dave for my beautiful harp and the great service! You will definitely see more of me in the near future.

I am so enjoying my Walnut Ceili Mor. We just returned from Scotland and Ireland where we heard lots of wonderful music but really missed my harps and my husband and I were so glad to get back to our Thormahlen instruments.

The harp stork brought me a new black Ceili and I'm just crazy about the huge sound, fluorocarbon strings, and it only weighs 18 pounds. It's just so nice having a smaller, lighter harp to play the Grainne stuff.

I just want to let you know my Koa Ceili-Mor arrived today. It is a beautiful instrument. The feel is soft and easy and the tone is just as you described it - bell-like. I have fallen in love with it and know that I will have many hours of playing enjoyment. Thank you very much for all your advice and help and for this lovely harp. I'm glad you made a video of unboxing the harp. That is certainly one sturdy package, and with your guide I had no trouble unpacking and reassembling the box.

My new Ceili has surprising volume and I love the tone, brightness, clarity, ease of playing, design and so far, everything about it! The string spacing is a bit less than on my other harp, so that will take some getting used to, but I think it's worth it. Considering the temperature change, it arrived in fairly good tune. The ease of the tuning pegs surprised me. They are very sensitive, compared to my Salvi. And what a gorgeous carrying case you sent with it! Thank you. This harp is a dream come true for me and I'm grateful for all your patience in working with me to pick it out.
A very happy new Thormahlen harp owner : )

The harp arrived and is as beautiful as I could want. The sound side by side with my other harp is so much more resonant, sweeter, vibrant and clearer. It's such a different experience playing it. It's incredible. The bass notes are wonderful and rich, the treble clear and bright and warm, and the odd difference between wound bass strings and nylon strings on my other harp doesn't exist on this harp - it's consistent throughout the full range. It feels so uplifting and healing resonating against my body. Thank you and your husband for such a beautiful thing.

Playing my new Koa Ceili-Mor has been a joy - it is physically so much easier to play than my other harps, and the tone is absolutely lovely. I took the new harp out for my first gig on St. Patrick's Day, and got a lot of positive comments about the music. That's saying something in a restaurant where the music is generally in the background. And there was a lot of admiration for the look of the instrument itself, all the beautiful craftsmanship. I have since taken it to church and again people admired the harp itself as well as appreciating the music. Several of my friends, who have heard my other harps in the same setting, commented that the tone of the Ceili-Mor is outstanding, and noticeably different from the others. One said the sound was sweeter and more pleasant, and carried well without amplification. I think the koa makes all the difference. I am so pleased with my new harp and very glad I gave in to the temptation to buy it. Thank you again for your helpful and friendly service. The Ceili-Mor is a wonderful harp, and it is a pleasure to play.
