Best Answer

There are at least three different instruments that are commonly called "lap harps".

  • First, there are small lever harps, which are real harps, with vertical strings, that sit on your lap rather than standing on the floor.
  • Second, there is the autoharp, which is a form of Zither with dampers that mute different strings, allowing you to strum chords.
  • Third, there is an instrument known as a plucked psaltery, which has a number of strings stretched across a trapezoidal soundboard. These are generally used for playing melodies.
