I hope her next choice is not Bagpipes. lol

My unit has really good soundproof wall so never got a complaint. For now I will not be getting a second harp but if in the future I were to buy it I would buy from the same seller I bought from last year. I saw handmade harps on harpsaus websites and gumtrees but they seemed very old and needed lot of repair and real professional harps lile salvi and LH are out of my budget. I hope to get a pedal harp someday. Pity that pakistani harp seller don't manufacture affordable pedal harps

I think the issue for the OP is, Australian made harps are outside her price range. Still worth looking at the sites in that link though, because you just never know. I clicked on one link (the top one). Most of his harps were $2,700. He did have some for $900, but they were 22 string, rather than 36 string.

I really love harp music. I'd love to see a video of the OP playing hers.

I think that first business in the link would have been ideal, s&d, but it looks as if he has closed for business, as of Aug 2021 as he said he had no stock left and wasn't taking any more orders. Such a pity, as his prices were within range for normal folk.

I checked out some of the other links and some are no longer operational.

Weissharps in Adelaide seems to have most in the $6000+ range. The Victorian Harps Australia, wow, the prices are eye watering, about $22,000.  

It really does seem like a specialised industry.

Have you checked your account to see the money returned? 

Only then, would I be doing a happy dance.  

Also, are these eBay emails viewed via eBay, or via your personal email? 
….something about the wording has me a little suspicious ……

Got from both email and ebay msg. They said it will take 3-5 days for refund to be issued so only then I will know
