As I recall, an actual Greek Aeolian Harp which I once saw was as tall as me--about 5 feet--& had something like a dozen strings of differing gauges which were tuned to the same note. It's been so many years back that I can no longer recall which note. The wind going across the strings caused the strings to sound-vibrate-creating a fabulous sound, but the overtones were magnificent, and amazing!

I ran into a fellow harper at a renfair once. Her harp was a small, freestanding lever harp. The stiff breeze blowing about that day vibrated her harpstrings & made quite a lovely sound.
In the "church modes," aeolian is the mode, or scale, which sounds like the scale which you hear when you play all of the white keys on a piano from beginning and ending with A, aka, A natural minor. It might be interesting to go back in time & be a fly on the wall to find out why the original person, way back whenever, chose one of the wind gods, Aeolus, Keeper of the Winds, for the natural minor.
