General Information

To some degree, the harp could be considered an orchestral string instrument. But the harp doesn’t actually belong to any precise section of the orchestra. While the harp plays a supporting role within the orchestra, its sonic contributions are indispensable. The harp, when used correctly, can transform a mundane passage of music into a memorable one.

Range

The harp has almost as wide a range as the piano. Its lowest note is Cb0 (three octaves plus one half-step below Middle C). Its highest note is Gb7 (three octaves plus a tritone above Middle C).
