The lever harp (also called Celtic or Irish harp) is smaller than a pedal harp with levers at the tops of strings to manually control the half steps (pitch changes) for each individual string. Lever harps range between 22 and 38 strings, often have a lighter tension of strings, and may be used to play traditional folk music. View them here:
