Celtic harp
Gaelic stringed instrument
A Celtic harp is a small triangular harp traditionally associated with Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany.
Distinguished from orchestral harps by its smaller size and lack of pedals, it typically has wire or nylon strings and rests on the player's lap or a small stand.
The instrument appears on Irish currency and the Guinness logo.
Also called Irish harp, folk harp, or lever harp.
