The strings on the harp vibrate, that vibration resonates in the sound board.

The thichnes and the length of the string, as well as the material and construction of the string determine frequency.

Thicker and longer strings make for a lower pitch sound. Shorter and thinner strings have height pitch.

The sound board amplifies the sound, and also gives the tone a character.
