Spent my late adolescence in this shop eyeing up all the weird and wonderful instruments and wishing I could afford to buy them.I know nothing about harps. But the Early Music Shop in Saltaire and London (http://www.earlymusicshop.com/home.aspx) have a lot of harps, and folk-inspired instruments as well as the instruments from the early music mainstream their name would suggest.
Why faff with the hammers? The future is plucked.Someone once told me a grand piano is effectively a large horizontal harp with hammers to hit the strings. It makes sense to me when you look at the shape, but it could be total bollox.

I used to know a young lady who played the BIG classical harp
She needed a large Volvo estate to transport it
However.......
She was in great demand at soirees, dinnners, events etc
She worked her way through Uni as a classical musician
Buy her a classical harp and put her out to work!
Aka: a harp. Nothing "classical" about it. Out of interest, did she play anything other than harp?
@simon.r - my sister says this:
Check out Pilgrim Harps. They rent and sell a huge variety and also have a list of teachers. Best to call them, they are lovely!
Also worth getting in touch with the UK Harp Association who have loads of advice, support and learning resources.
A lap harp could be what you're after?
Hope that helps!
Nope... she worked with a few others as. Classical quartet
Given the right orchestra, a harpsichord (or, to keep on topic, a harp) can do the same.a grand could at least hold its own with an orchestra.
You'll need to buy her a volvo estate too.I used to know a young lady who played the BIG classical harp

Out of interest, again, where abouts?
That doesn't sound right.She was in great demand at soirees, dinnners, events etc
