actually basses can play on three clefs bass clef, tenor clef, and treble clef, its rare for basses to use to treble but it is used when the notes get higher and higher. so they can play both but mostly bass clef

the different lenghts play different pitches or notes, the longer the string, the lower the note.

The harp is a solo string instrument, BUT it belongs to the percussion family in the orchestra, as it is used mostly for special effects.

folk harp(without petals*; pedal harp(around 5-7 ft high , with petals*); Concert grand( 7+ft with petals*; mainly used for concerts with Orchreastras) if you have any more harp questions you can e-mail me at xoxogirl29@gmail.com

*petals are used to change pitch of strings from natural to sharp, bacck to flat(in musical terms))

Yes...

The piano is louder because it is much heavier, much larger, and in places built with much more tension. A harpsichord is lighter in construction and is built completely of wood. Some modern harpsichords may have some metal in their frames or in other parts of their construction. Harpsichord strings are 'plucked' by a 'plectrum' which originally consisted of quills. The plectrum is built in such a way that the quill will pluck the string on the way up, and slide over the string on the way down. You can't vary the volume of a given note by changing the attack on the key. Pianos must have metal frames because the wires are on average longer and require much more tension to be brought to pitch. For most of the range of a piano, which is considerably wider than that of standard harpsichords, there are 3 wires per note. As you go toward the lower registers there are 2 wires, and then 1 wound wire per note. Most importantly, piano wires are struck by a hammer. Varying the attack on a key will vary the initial volume of the note quite a bit. The action of the piano, called an 'escapement' action, is very special. You can imagine that if there were just a simple lever causing the hammer action, then the hammer would strike and then rest on the wires it just struck. The escapement action allows the hammer to move freely (independently of the motion of the rest of the action) right before striking the wires. Then the hammer recoils and is checked by another part of the action.

I think those terms refer to a harmonica.

The easiest and most effective way is to use a contact pickup. There are several brands available: B-band (AST), Mcintyre, Barcus Berry, and L.R. Baggs (I-Beam). Some people use two pickups--one low and one high on the soundboard--to get the full range. You may need to use some EQ to avoid too much bass. Most pickups can be mounted inside the soundbox, on the back of the soundboard.

Alternatively, you can use two microphones; one set low and one high. This gives a more natural sound than a pickup, but is more susceptible to feedback. The primary problem is avoiding hitting the upper mic when the harp is returned to its resting position. This is mostly a matter of the harpist getting in the habit of swinging the boom away, first.

The harp isn't used in every composition written for classical music ... a harp part has to exist for it to be used as part of the orchestral ensemble. Sometimes it is used as a solo instrument. Sometimes it is used to add color (ie. glissandi) to a composition. Some composers double the harp part in piano or other instruments.

The harp is a symbol of Ireland as their national emblem. For some people, the harp is a symbol of heaven because of references in the Bible o hearing the voice of many waters and the harp being the instrument that mimics water.

Classical orchestras, baroque and folk

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.

yes because if you don't it will sound wierd and all guitar need to be tuned

p.s Justin bieber rules if you don't know who he is go on Justin bieber and buy one time on itunes by Justin bieber

p.s he is cute really cute

The Body of the Harp is made out of Maple - a wood, Beech - another wood, Brass, Gold, Stainless Steel, Plastic and Nylon. The Strings are made of Steel, Gut (Usually Sheep intestines) and nylon. The Surface of the Harp includes, ebony of mahogany coloured wood stains (yellow colours) 24k Gold leaf. Soundboard is usually painted or decorated in gold decals.

The decibels depends how close you measure to the harp. The closer - the louder! And the louder you play the more decibels you get. The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.

The purpose of a harp instrument is to calm yourself or someone down. The harp has a very soft sound and is played by plucking your fingers on the strings. It could easily calm someone down or put someone to sleep.

No, a harp is not a guitar. It's more like the inside of a piano played at a right angle. In history it bear a resemblance to the lyre. The guitar and harp are even played differently, harp is played by plucking the strings while a guitar is strummed and fretted.

Harps are older than most recorded history, so we do not know who created the first one. There is evidence that harps existed 7,000 years ago.
