harpers

Lyre-like instrument players

Harpers is the plural of harper, a person who plays the harp.

The word appears in traditional contexts—medieval courts had harpers, and Irish and Welsh musical traditions still use the term.

Harper has largely given way to harpist in contemporary usage, though harpers persists in folk and historical settings: The festival featured harpers from across the Celtic nations.
