What is a "harp"?
A harp is a stringed instrument with a large, triangular frame and a series of strings stretched vertically across it. It produces sound by plucking the strings with the fingers, which can be done using the fingertips or nails. The harp typically has a range of pedals or levers that allow the player to adjust the pitch of the strings, enabling the creation of different notes and chords. Harps come in various sizes and types, including the concert harp with pedals for orchestral music and the smaller, folk harp for traditional and popular music. Known for its beautiful, resonant sound and delicate appearance, the harp is used in many musical genres, from classical to folk and contemporary music.
