how many strings on a harp?

Answer 1

The pedal harp, or concert harp, is large and technically modern, designed for classical music and played solo, as part of chamber ensembles, and in symphony orchestras. It typically has six and a half octaves (46 or 47 strings)

The folk or lever harp ranges in size from two octaves to six octaves, and uses levers or blades to change pitch. The most common size has 34 strings

Answer 2

My harp has 30 strings but you can get smaller harps and much larger ones. Concert harps, which have pedals for changing the music keys typically have 34, 40 or 47 strings.
Folk harps (like mine) have 30 or 34 strings and have levers for changing the key.
You can also get small harps that are placed on the knee to be played and can have as little as 8 strings.
The 'C' strings are red, the 'F' strings are black (or purple depending on which make you go for and the other strings are a natural cream colour. The strings from lower 'e' down are made of metal.

Answer 3

A multi-course harp is a harp with more than one row of strings. A harp with only one row of strings is called a single-course harp.

t is the Triple Harp which lays claim to the prime place in the history of the harp in Wales, this has 3 rows of strings.



"The compass of the Triple Harp, in general, is about five octaves, or thirty-seven strings in the principal row, which is on the side played by the right hand, called the bass row. The middle row, which produces the flats and sharps, consists of thirty-four strings; and the treble, or left hand row, numbers twenty-seven strings."
The Welsh Harper (London 1839)

Answer 4

It varies, but to be truly useful and playable, about the minimum number of strings you can have is around 22.

A harp with 36 strings has a full five octave range (every 7 strings is an octave on the harp) and is considered to be a professional instrument.

Answer 9

as long as the harp strings have metal content in them, it'll work. But it won't sound like a sitar. Sitars have extra strings that vibrate to give them their sound.
