Bike trailers?

There are many baby trailers made for bikes, some double wide for twins. I'm
sure a conversion clamp could be easily made for one of those, by any
competent carpenter, to haul any size harp. Pick up a couple of Cycling
magazines and look at the trailers advertised..... Bud

Has anyone seen, heard of, made a harp trailer for a bike (as in pedal bike
not motor). Would the harp have to lie down or could it stand up? Would a
bike be stable enough? By the way I am talking about a full size orchestral
harp here - so would I be able to pull it or would it be too heavy?

I am asking because I am bored of having to wheel the thing for 30 mins to
get to somewhere that it would take about 10 minutes to cycle to. You can
walk short distances, get a car and drive long distances but what about the
intermediate distance where it is too far to walk easily but too near for it
to be worth hiring a car.

Any help will be gratefully received
