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 is known for its beautiful, resonant sound and is often associated with Celtic music and culture. Celtic harps come in various sizes, from small, portable versions to larger concert harps. They typically have between 22 to 38 strings, which can be made from gut, nylon, or wire. The harp has a rich history and is often used in folk music, classical compositions, and cultural celebrations throughout the Celtic nations.
