How did Apollo get his harp?

First of, it's not a harp, it's a lyre. Second, Hermes made it for him. Kinda. Hermes stole Apollo's cattle, then took a tortoise, and made a lyre out of it. Apollo found Hermes, saw the lyre, heard how beautiful it sounded and traded his golden wand, the Caduceus for it.
