The Celtic harp has a triangular frame, stands about 105 centimeters high, and the body or soundbox of the instrument is carved from a single piece and is made of hardwoods like walnut or mahogany, as well as softwoods like willow.
As its name suggests, this type of harp originates from Celtic countries such as Ireland, Wales, or Scotland.
Did you know... The influence in Scotland was so significant that it became the national instrument until it was replaced by the Scottish bagpipes.
On the other hand, in Ireland, the Celtic harp's influence is still so great that it is considered a national symbol. For this reason, it appears as the logo of many well-known brands: such as the Irish low-cost airline "Ryanair" or the "Guinness" beer brand, and it even appears on the Irish penny itself.
Since its origins, the strings have been made of metal, wire (brass, silver, iron), and even gold. The approximate number of strings is 34, although some smaller versions of the Celtic harp with fewer strings can be found.
The Celtic harp, like other harps, is a difficult instrument to play due to the level of technique it requires. Harpists must play with great speed and absolute delicacy, commonly using their fingernails.
