A piano has a much larger soundboard.

A piano strikes the strings with hammers, while harp strings are plucked by fingers.

Piano strings are wires, heavier and under higher tension than harp strings.

There are different methods for classifying musical instruments and they do not agree with each other. Some would say that the harp is a percussion instrument as the strings are plucked percussively.

The harp is a unique member of the stringed instrument family. Like other members of the string family, the harp's sound is produced by vibrating strings stretched between parts of a wooden frame or box. On a harp, the strings' vibrations are produced by being plucked by hand, while seven pedals at the bottom of the harp adjust the length of the strings to produce more notes.

A harp is basically a frame with many strings attached from top to bottom. The strings are arranged like the keys on the keyboard - CDEFGABC. When a player plays the harp, all he/she needs to do is pluck strings, as each string produces a different note. If sharps or flats are needed, then the harp either has levers (which sharpen each note by a semiquaver, giving you a sharp note) or pedals (which you adjust with your feet to flatten or sharpen each note). Yup, that's about it!

Small harps (less than 26 strings) only have to read treble (G) clef.

Larger lever harps (27 to 38 strings) and pedal harps (40 to 48 strings) read the grand staff, just like a piano. Concert pedal harps have a range of six and a half octaves.

They are related, but not that strongly. Apart from the obvious 'harp' connection in their names, they are each stringed instruments containing soundboards. Another relationship is that the strings of a harp and the strings of the harpsichord are plucked in order to produce sound. The timbres of the two instruments are quite different for a variety of reasons. Each harpsichord key regulates one or more jacks, structures made of wood, metal or plastic depending on when the harpsichord was built/reconstructed. Each jack has a 'plectrum', a length of quill, plastic or other material, that rests under the string when the note is not being played. Depress a key and the jack, along with its plectrum, move up and the string is plucked. Release the key and the plectrum slides back under the string and the string is dampered. The sound is very bright with prominant harmonics. There are various ways to 'stop' or 'buffer' the strings so that the sound more resembles a lute. Harp strings can be 'stopped' in similar ways. But the harpsichord sound does not readily change in volume. However fast or slow you press a key, the energy imparted by the bending plectrum is all that there is. On the other hand, a harpist can vary volume tremendously because the strings are plucked with the fingers.

There is more tension in the strings of a piano than in the strings of a harp. As such, the strings of a piano can be struck with more force than the strings of a harp, creating a louder sound.

Actually the answer is both yes and no. The Irish harp is obviously Irish, but the Italians had a harp that is now called the Welsh harp. King David of the Bible had a harp and he was Jewish. Harp has been around for ages, it has come from many different locations, it does not belong to any one group. The most common form is the Irish harp, but that does not mean it is solely from Ireland.

yes
