Harp seems quite interesting although may not be as much. I love those different sound thingies you can make with an electric keyboard.

Oh and there are also things called electric harps, but they're like 20x the price of a keyboard, and so are the normal harps..

the harp is so exotic
you can wear a halo above your head while playing the harp :p

although it might be better to play the piano :\

Definitely the harp. It's one of my favourite instruments. :)

Harps are expensive... do piano

You can get a good piano for just over a grand if you know where to look. And piano is more versatile.

I've played piano my entire life and it's the best instrument to begin on as it teaches you the basic fundamentals of music in simply learning how to play it.

These fundamentals are needed in playing all instruments, and I imagine would be immensely harder in learning the harp.

guitar is good
I don't particularly like the sound of acoustic nor electric guitars when played brashly

and also i learnt acoustic for like an entire semester and the time for me to switch the fingering from one chord to another did not speed up as the semester ended.

you can pick up chicks with the piano, mainly because everyone has one in their house
