Note: I play folk, rather than concert harp. This means that although I read music, my harps have levers, not the
pedals which allow 'concert' harpists to play 'accidentals' or switch keys on demand.
The folk harp is "is small to medium-sized and suited for traditional & folk music. I play solo or with small groups.
It is prominent in Welsh, Breton, Irish, Scottish and other Celtic cultures within traditional or folk music and as
a social and political symbol."
