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. | 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.
