Harps

Harps are identified by their shape (triangle).  A harp has a neck, which supports multiple strings that pass into a resonator at a 45-degree angle or less.  Sometimes, the neck and resonator are supported by a pillar which runs parallel to the strings.  Together, the neck, resonator and pillar form a triangle.
