I cannot keep up with the increasing amount of harp guitar players out there! Please refer to the Players page for the most up-to-date list. I have a hard time keeping up with all the new luthiers building harp guitars! Please refer to the Luthier page for the most up-to-date list. Harp Guitar Music (where else? It is the only instrument stocked and since opening in 2006, has sold more than anyone out there!) The following dealers have vintage harp guitars from time to time: Players Vintage Instruments (Lowell Levinger) RetroFret
