You know how on a piano, middle C sounds like it's in between the low and high notes? Well, that's because it is. The notes below middle C have low pitched sounds just as the higher notes above middle C, become higher pitched.

Same goes for the harp. The high notes come from the strings above middle C. They're shorter and thinner so they sound higher and don't resonate as long.

What are the differences between playing the harp and the piano?

The main differences between playing the harp and the piano are the physical techniques used and the sound produced. The harp is plucked with fingers, creating a softer, more ethereal sound, while the piano is struck with keys, producing a more percussive and dynamic sound. Additionally, the harp has pedals to change the pitch of the strings, while the piano uses keys to change pitch.
