Harp is a stringed instrument with a resonator or belly that is parallel to or almost parallel to the plane of the strings. The gradation of string length from short to long corresponds to the change in pitch from high to low, and each string generates one note. The resonator is typically made of leather or wood.

On Saint Patrick’s Day decorations, you can notice the Irish harp, which is a symbol of Ireland. It is small, held on the knee, and is made of a solid block of wood. It is known as a clarsach. Irish flags, coinage, and the Royal British coat of arms all feature it.

Other historic harps include the ceirine, creamthine cruit, and cionar cruit. The creamthine is a six-string harp, whereas the cionar was a 10-string instrument used by the bards. In early Christian times, noblemen congregated to hear persons playing harps, as depicted in ancient Irish stone sculptures and metalwork. Men from all over the world were dispatched to Ireland to study the harp.


Unfortunately, most of the music was lost when King Edward I of England organized a massacre of the bards and harpists of Wales, Scotland, and Ireland in 1283. The harp suffered a further setback when, during the Renaissance, it turned into a symbol of revolt and Queen Elizabeth ordered her enforcers to “hang the harpers wherever found.”
