harp

Play the piano and stringed instruments. Plucked instruments in modern orchestras. The floor-standing piano stand is in a triangular bow shape.

Harp uses a large musical score, and the musical instrument has as many notes as its 47 strings (some harps have 46 or 48 strings) arranged from low to high, that is to say, it has a wide range of 47 notes and 6 semi-octaves from (b)C( 1) to G (4). All sounds are arranged according to the natural seven-tone scale, and the tuning is (b)C major.

There are seven-letter pedals under the piano body, and each pedal can control all homophones in the sound system. All pedals are designed with three pedals, which can raise or lower the sound when stepped on. If all seven pedals are placed at the first level, the music series is (b) a scale in C major; On the second level is the scale of C major; When placed at the third level, the series is tuned to #C major. In a word, by using the pedal, the player can easily play seven tones of all keys, and can modulate other scales, such as pentatonic scale, pan scale, scales with some special variations, etc. You can also tune all syllables into some kind of * * * syllable.

The harp is played with one to four fingers of the left hand and the right hand, and there is no little finger. The high-pitched part of the score is played by the right hand and the low-pitched part is played by the left hand. Single tone, double tone and * * * (simultaneous vocalization) can be played with one hand, and each hand can play up to four tones, and the width cannot exceed ten degrees. When the sound pattern is performed in a large range, it is easy to play in a roundabout way, and the sound can be connected with the sound very coherently.
