Harp
Triple harp, of unusually small dimensions, constructed to carry 23 + 20 + 17 strings and to be played on the left shoulder. Otherwise of typical Italianate design and features. During the late 17th century northern Wales began to adopt the Italian-invented triple harp. This specimen might be one of the earliest native-built examples.
