the pitch of a harp is changed by loosening or tightning the strings like many other string instruments
Another answer:Actually, the pitch of a harp string is changed by changing the vibrating length of the string, not the tension.Pedal harps have metal pins mounted on rotating disks, which grab the string at the right points to shorten the vibrating length of each string, raising the pitch by one or two semitones. The disks are rotated by a system of rods connected to pedals in the base of the harp, so that the player can change key or play accidentals by moving the pedals.
Lever harps have a cam, operated by a lever, on each string. The cam presses the string against a metal pin at the right point to shorten the vibrating length and raise the pitch by one semitone. The levers are operated by the player's left hand.
In both cases, it's like pressing the string against a fret.

∙ 12y agoAll harps have a triangular frame which holds a set of strings under tension. The three sides of the frame are the column, the soundboard and the neck. The column is a vertical post, the neck goes across the top, and the soundboard extends from the neck down to the base of the column. The strings are stretched between the neck and the soundboard. The strings are perpendicular to, and pass through, the soundboard (that is what differentiates a harp from a lyre or Zither). There is a hollow, resonant body behind the soundboard, which contributes to the tone of the instrument.
