There are vendors from Pakistan and other places that sell pretty carved Deura/rosewood harps that are poorly made and may have levers that don't work. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is! These are some of the harp stores that sell used harps and may be able to ship to you. Atlanta Harp Center The Harp Connection Virginia Harp Center Dusty Strings - this link takes you to both their new and used instruments (the used ones are marked accordingly) The Enchanted Harp Kolacny Music
Harp groups/clubs/societies may also have classified pages, but you would need to work with the individual seller to see if shipping is feasible. Here are a few examples: Reigning Harps (pacific northwest) Washington Area Folk Harp Society The HarpColumn site also has online classified ads for pedal and lever harps.
