Question:I play the cello already and this summer I was thinking about taking up another instrument. I always wanted to play the harp but how hard would it be from switching over from cello. Bass would also be cool and i know it wouldn't be that hard so which one please I need help!

I would go with the harp. It is rare to find a really good harpist- and if you get to a level of professionalism, you can make some damn good money doing it.
Ex- weddings, a lot of people want a harpist playing at their weddings- and will pay big bucks for it!

But if you don't want the challenge of switching to a completely different instrument- then just go with the bass.

Double Bass, then listen to some bands like Zombie Ghost Train or the Horror Pops and hear the double bass in action.

not just a double bass, try playing a 2-string bass
