There are several inexpensive options these days. The Emerald looks nice! ToneDevil makes one that I have played, very nice, in the $2K range, if I recall. And there's the Holloway's, which seem to be pricier than they used to be, but are still relatively reasonable. The good stuff included harps by Kathy Wingert, Duane Noble, and a number of others, and can get pretty up there. I got to spend some time with one of Kathy's - I managed to record one You Tube video with it - and they're very cool, but I think I have my hands full with 6 strings.
