An instrument called a "fluid harp" exists that has sliders to enable continuously-variable pitch variation on each string, as demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzhlYaevFR8 ''Fluid Harp – Adjustable Microtonal Harp''] (2017), but it is actually a zither and produces a very different tonal quality from a harp; as such, it belongs to a page about zithers, and is not further covered here. In principle, such a mechanism or better yet, a pedal-actuated slider mechanism could be applied to an actual harp, but so far, none have been built.
Although a "fluid harp" has been made with sliders to enable continuously-variable pitch variation on each string, as demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzhlYaevFR8 ''Fluid Harp – Adjustable Microtonal Harp''] (2017), it has strings parallel to the sound board. Therefore, it is actually a zither, and produces a very different tonal quality from a harp; as such, it belongs to a page about zithers, and is not further covered here. In principle, such a mechanism or better yet, a pedal-actuated slider mechanism could be applied to an actual harp, but so far, none have been built.
