Harps in continental Europe differed from Irish harps in that the forepillar was thinner and less curved, the neck was more slender and it curved upward to meet the end of the column. Referred to as Renaissance harps, they typically had 24 or more gut strings which were fixed to the soundboard with brays (wooden pegs). By the end of the 17th century, they typically had staved sound bodies and straight forepillars.

What is the best key of diatonic harmonica to harmonize with a DGBE tuned baritone ukulele?
I took this to a specialty board for stringed instruments and this is what was posted in response on the Baritone Ukulele thread: Unfortunately, there exists no such animal. Each "Key" for a harmonica of any nature is relative to the key played by the instrument being accompanied, NOT THE TUNING OF THE INSTRUMENT. For instance, key of G, straight harp would be a G harp. Cross harp in G would be played on a C harp (out of second position). So, pick the key that you are going to play in and select the matching harmonica. Actually, you can obtain a pretty inexpensive set of multiple keyed harmonicas for a fairly low price.
