The harp is constructed similarly though harps in Earth#10 are much wider than in our timeline, as the harp has no pedals and thus there is a string for every note in the 10edo gamut. It has a range from between 0₀ to 5₇. In addition, they are shaped more like psalteries. (Red strings signify note 0 and blue strings signify note 5.)

Smaller "half-size" harps (derogatorily called "Celtic harps") are lever harps tuned in 5edo where the levers shift by 10edo steps and are oftentimes used as teaching materials for children.

Modern balalaikas, called "metric balalaikas" are a mainstay of Eastern European folk music ensembles and often feature in orchestral works. Their tunings are:

*prima: 5₃ 5₃ 0₄

*secunda: 0₄ 0₄ 5₄

*alto: 5₃ 5₃ 0₄

*tenor: 0₃ 0₃ 5₃

*bass: 5₂ 0₃ 5₃

*contrabass: 5₁ 0₂ 5₂

* 1 harp

The pitched percussion section contains, ~~at the minimum~~, 1 set of 10 timpani, and 1 metallophone.

Usually, if a theorbo is not found, a contrabass (metric) balalaika is used for the continuo part in Baroque works.
