By clicking on
the harp, you'll discover the various parts of the instrument.
|
|
|
The soundboard,
also called belly, the most sensitive part to temperature variations
|
||
|
The Top-arm,
or Harmonic curve, where the tuning pegs
are fixed
|
||
|
The
forepillar, which may be decorated.
|
||
|
The
Feet, which make the harp stable.
|
||
|
The
soundbox, where you can replace broken strings
|
||
|
C
strings
are colored in
red, and F
strings in blue. By clicking
on the different strings, you'll discover a full octave.

The
string is attached to the top-arm by a
tuning peg. The levers stretches
a string further, and changes it in sharp or flat: here, the up lever
on an E flat string represents a natural E; the harp tuned in C major,
without any flat or sharp, has the E, A, B levers up. Thus when they
are down, the harp has the E, A and B flat.
