"Concert" harps have 47 strings and 7 pedals. The most common wood to be used in making a pedal harp is maple. The soundboard is usually made of spruce but cedar and douglas fir have been used as well. The mechanism of the harp is metal and very complex. A pedal harp has 2000 parts to it and 1500 of them move. The strings are a combination of nylon, gut and metal. Sometimes a synthetic string is used known as a carbon string or KF string.
