A good ideas in general, which should be taken to the Miscellaneous Board for further work. (For some reason we don't have any instruments as separate entries. Maybe you can start a trend here

)

You will need to come up with a very good bit of reasoning to have an instrument be able to enhance your magical abilities though.

There are various inconsistencies in your entry, mostly concerning rarity and price of this harp. Also, just stating that races have adapted it to their taste will not do for a description, you will have to give examples, or some general lines of the most obvious alterations for each race.. I'm sure you can come up with something.

If your writing program of choice is able to, try to have it run a grammar check on your entries as well.

(oh, and do something about the gazillion exclamation marks will you
