Used Harps for Sale by West Coast Harps

Used Harps For Sale

About Our Used and Consigned Harps

Used and consigned used harps are available on occasion. These are either owned outright by West Coast Harps with a limited warranty or owned by a third party and are consigned to West Coast Harps on an "as is" basis. All the listed harps for sale here are in our current possession allowing for transparency and accuracy as to their posted description and condition.

We ship used harps Canada-wide on a cost of shipping and packaging basis.

Our used harps may be viewed at our Cedar, BC studio by appointment.
If you wish to view or purchase a used harp, or wish to consign a harp with West Coast Harps, please contact Alison.

With used harps we give complete disclosure of any known defects as included in the images. We offer a limited warranty for the used harps that we own outright. It is very rare to find a nice sounding, playable used floor harp for much less than CAD$2000 so as a result we usually only sell new harps [with a full warranty] starting for just a few hundred dollars more.
