a harp basically has a base board, strings, and neck.. this i a basic folk harp...with removable legs on the bottom... http://www2.seasite.niu.edu/worldmusic/images/Irish%20harp.jpg This is a typical pedal harp http://www.digischool.nl/mu/leerlingen/mt/instrumenten/plaatjes/harp.gif usually pedal harps a larger than a folk harp...the only difference is a pedal harp has pedals and a folk does not... Petal harps use pedals to change notes from naturals to sharps or flats....A folk uses small levers at the top of the harp to change each individual note...The folk harp must have the levers flipped and can be changed to two of the three options (natural, sharp, flat) while a pedal harp has all three options and all of the same note is changed at once...which can be a limitation, because for example the strings of C must all be the same (sharp, flat, or natural)...while a folk harp can have C naturals and Flats at the same time...

What is the difference between a lyre and a Germanic lyre?

Simple, a Germanic lyre was used by the Germanic peoples, a "normal" lyre wasn't. On a more serious note, it's a completely different instrument. The Greek lyre had many strings that were plucked one at a time, much like a modern harp. The Germanic lyre had usually only 6 strings, and was sometimes played in the above fashion, but more often by strumming while blocking some strings with your fingers to create chords. Apart from this, they also look quite different. They also come from different cultures: the Germanic lyre was used by the Germanic tribes (obviously) while the classical lyre was used by the Greeks (and other mediterranean cultures).
