15. Harp

The harp is a stringed musical instrument that has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard; the strings are plucked with the fingers. In terms of size, many smaller harps can be played on the lap, whereas larger harps are quite heavy and rest on the floor.Unlike wind and bowed string instruments, the harp sounds great from day one and it is relatively easy to play simple and satisfying pieces after only a few lessons. However, the harp is a difficult instrument to play to a high standard. A floor harp (one that sits on the floor) is a better choice for the beginners than a lap harp for a beginner, because having to balance or hold the harp in some way can interfere with learning proper playing technique. The harp comes in different sizes and there is a variety of music to fit your personal taste on both lever or pedal harps.
