^OLIAN HARPS.
These harps consist of an oblong box of thin deal board about five
or six inches deep, with a circle drawn in the middle of the upper side
an inch and a half in diameter, around which are to be drilled small
holes. Along the upper side of the box seven, ten or more small strings
of very fine gut are stretched over bridges near each end, like the
bridge of a violin, and tightened or relaxed with screw pins. The
strings must be tuned to one and the same note, and the instrument
placed in some current of air where the wind can pass over its strings
with freedom. A window, the width of which is exactly equal to the
length of the harp, with the sash first raised to give the air admission,
is a good situation. When the wind blows upon the strings, with vari-
ous degrees of force, different musical tones will be sounded ; some-
times the blast brings out all the tones in full concert, and sometimes
it sinks them to the softest murmur. In many old castles these harps
were fastened in the windows, and their wild music caused the ignorant
to think they were haunted.
Simply tying waxed saddlers' silk to little sticks and pushing them
into the crevices of windows, so as to secure a draft of wind (the silk
being strained tight) will produce very sweet sounds.
