    Then we come to this;
    Harps keep their sound through the shape of the instrument, hence both sides are closed on an actual harp. 2, a harp has different sizes of string and different lengths. As you can see in the picture, they're all the same size, and they're all the same length.

    I know these things because;

    My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

    Also, One of my brain-cells outnumbers the amount that you Harp/Bow goers have for thinking of a retarded thought like this.

    If you just so happen to be right, you're wrong, because I am always right.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one here who knows what a harp is.

    I'm actually quite fond of classical music...and Melodic Black Metal...those walk hand in hand, though.

    Also, on a side note, with all the metal that is apparently on the bow, and the fact that it is on the bow, if it was an actual harp it would be out of tune, or not make much quality sound at all. The sound vibrations would carry through the bow and the metal links as it seems to have and distort it to the point ot where it sounds like a flute you get in a happy meal at McDonalds.

    and again, I know these things because;

    My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.


    EDIT: Didn't realize you posted what a harp is lol, I'm more of the "skip the BS and post what I think"

    Ive been playing guitar, violin, piano and what ever i can get my grubby hand on for years now. Maybe they expect the monotone harp to be autotuned?

    ADDED: Strings are still too thick for a lyre though it is more practical than harp in this case

    Well, if it was ted Nugent or Slash, then maybe they could pull some magical note fromt heir ass, but that's it, they could only pull a second note from0 that harp...Though, Yingwie J. Malmsteen could probably make it work -.-;
