It's sad that one of the most beautiful and ancient instruments is so uncommon these days. So many people have never even heard a harp being played. I play the harp, and I think it's the most beautiful instrument on the planet. So here are some random harp vids exhibiting different genres of music:
First, pedal harps. These harps are the ones used in orchestras:

^skip the first minute if you want to get straight to the music.
Second, lever harps. These harps are made more for folk music, and it's the kind of harp that minstrels used back in the Middle Ages (though obviously it's improved since then):

Third, the electric harp :cool: :

And, in the interest of fairness, the glass harp:
