You can get a ton from youtube. Harp solo and there are a ton of great sounding samples from some pretty good artist. All open samples as well. You might even come across the dude giving video tutorials of harp playing and going step by step through chords and progressions. good stuff.

This is maybe going to require a little investigation, but you can find a goldmine if this is in your area.

If you live in a major city, see if they have any kind of celtic store where they import and sell alot of Irish/Scottish/British stuff. They might just have some music cd's they sell there. If they do, then they've probably got some harp, bagpipes, dulcimer, or lute music. It's going to have a celtic flavor, but who cares? You'll find a few notes or chords you could sample.

If you don't have a shop like that, there's a new artist you should check out Joanna Newsom. She kinda sings like Lisa Simpson, but if you can get past that, she playes a EXCELLENT harp. She's got a few albums worth checking out.

Oh, another thing, see if you have any music stores with mostly acoustic instruments. If they sell harps, they MIGHT have some local artists selling their music, so you could try that as well.
