What is the difference between a Paraguayan harp and other folk harps?
A. The Paraguayan harp is designed so that the strings in the neck are centered between two “halves” of the neck. This feature prevents the tendency for the neck to roll over to the left as in Irish and Celtic designs. Because of this design, the harp can be constructed very lightly (between 11 and 17 pounds). It has the most sound volume of any style of harp.
