harp string
Taut musical fiber
A harp string is one of the taut cords stretched across a harp's frame that produces sound when plucked.
Harps have many strings of varying lengths and thicknesses, each tuned to a different pitch.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for something delicate or resonant: Her voice touched some harp string in his memory.
