harpists
Pedal lyre players
Harpists are people who play the harp—the large stringed instrument plucked with the fingers.
The term applies to classical musicians in orchestras and chamber ensembles, as well as performers in folk traditions: The harpist played a Celtic air.
Professional harpists often own instruments worth tens of thousands of dollars.
