The antiquity of the harp appears
in the fact that ancient Egyptian fres-
Goes contain harps that are three
thousand years old. Bruce gives some
copies of paintings in one-hundred-
gated Thebes of a harp in the tomb of
Rameses, thus showing that before
Athens was built the Egyptians. used
this instrument. Bible readers know
King David's favorite instrument was
the harp called kinnor. 1t is said that
when hung over his couch the wind
caused the strings to sound at mid
night-the principle of the eolian
harp.
