Two of my favorite harps in the $20 range are Hohner's Big River for about
$23 and the Suzuki Folkmaster for around $16. Both are good, solid
instruments for the money (certainly beyond toy quality). I remember
the Folkmaster being lighter than the Big River, and you didn't have to open
your mouth as wide as with the Big River; so it may be a better choice for a
young person.
