I own a harp which, thanks to some brief instructions from Susan of DT, I now know how to hold right-side-up. It is not where I am right now, so I can't remember the string count. It covers at least a couple of octaves. I hope to learn more about how to play it in the coming months. It is a thing of beauty and needs playing. I also have a 17 button autoharp. I have a lot to learn about it as well. But it doesn't call to me like the harp does.
