Thread Name: Early English harp-playing.
Subject: RE: Early English harp-playing.
Julia: that's very interesting. Is that Scottish harp in 800AD the first depiction of a triangular harp in the British Isles, or the first one anywhere? You seem to be suggesting that English references to harps actually refer to square instruments before some unspecified date...does your book say when the triangular harps started coming in? This is all very interesting.
