Harp
The harp is a
stringed instrument which has the plane of its strings positioned perpendicular to the
soundboard. All harps have a neck,
resonator and
strings. Some, known as frame harps, also have a forepillar; those lacking the forepillar are referred to as open harps. Harp strings can be made of
nylon (sometimes wound around
copper),
gut (more commonly used than nylon),
wire, or
silk. A person who plays the harp is called a harpist or a harper. Typically, folk/Celtic musicians prefer the term "harper," whereas classical/pedal musicians prefer "harpist."
