How big is a harpsichord?

Harps can come in a range of sizes. Possibly the smallest size that harps are made is about 60cm tall, and about 40cm long, and 10cm wide. Those harps are often known as lap harps, and are levered. The largest size that lever harps reach is around 1.7m, 1m long, and about 30cm wide. Pedal harps go from around 1.6m tall, 80cm long, and 40cm wide to nearly 2m tall, over 1m long, and around 60cm wide. Basically, the size of a harp really depends on the type (pedal or lever), the maker, and the model.
