Has anyone fit a...Harp?

[valaeyron]

Anyone tried a lever harp? Pedal harp? Semi-grand?

Well, although it's right down the road from me I can't fit it even in my F-350.

Um, @AudubonB , the OP said harp, not HAARP. Of course the latter is bigger, it has an extra "A"!

For reference, I’m looking at something this size: Lyon & Healy Style 85 E Pedal Harp | HarpConnection.com

Oof, I don’t know. Not a harp player, but I sit next to our harp player in orchestra. I doubt I could get her harp in my 3, and certainly not with the level of care it would need to not get damaged, plus you need room for the dolly. Hers has pedals, but I couldn’t tell you any more than that.

Maybe a Y is a better bet?

Yeah but that extra is an A-flat so it could be easier to fit....

yeah, she definitely has pedals if it’s a harp in an orchestra I’m thinking it could be tight but doable if I’m careful (which I would be anyway, the harp costs half the M3!). Might need to leave the sub trunk open to give me room for the base/pedals. My daughter (the harpist) could sit in the front passenger seat if needed. Hmmm...the dolly. Forgot about that...

I’ve fit 24 Harps in my car.

Were you able to try this out?

Model Y for sure. I could barely get my son’s 3/4 size tuba in the back of my M3. The issue is the opening between the trunk too and bottom.

My daughter and wife refuse to let me risk both the harp and my car at the same time. Both are apparently too precious and expensive to damage concurrently…

This doesn't help for the M3, but I fit my daughter's Style 23 concert grand in our MY.

A harp will fit in a model Y

THANK YOU!!! My daughter has a petite *for now*
