A large wood instrument shaped something like a tilted heart. Usually spanning between 5-6 feet tall, these large instruments are commonly made of ebony, walnut, mahogany, or "natural" wood. Expensive harps may include gold or bronze detailing.
The strings are made of wire (base strings), sheep gut (middle strings), and nylon (high strings). The strings are plucked in order to provide the best quality sound.
There are two different kinds of harp: the levee harp and the pedal harp. The pedal harp has seven pedals to change tunes from neutral, flat, or sharp, while the lever harp only goes from neutral to sharp, unless tuned otherwise.
The harp is commonly mistaken for the lyre.
