The Celtic harp, also known as the Irish harp or Gaelic harp, is a traditional stringed instrument originating from the Celtic regions of Europe, particularly Ireland and Scotland. It features a triangular frame and strings that are plucked with the fingers. The instrument has a rich history, often associated with ancient Celtic music and culture. Celtic harps vary in size and design, with some being large and others more portable. They are typically made from wood and can have gut or nylon strings. The sound produced is soft and melodic, making the Celtic harp a popular choice for both solo performances and ensemble music in folk traditions.
