Bohemian harp

The Bohemian Harp (Czech: harfa), also referred to as the Hakenharfe, is a Central European lever harp, similar to the Celtic harp, with a straight, tenoned neck. It was played foremostly by travelling musicians going through Europe in the 19th century, occasionally in bands. When played in bands, it was often used as an accompaniment for bass violin and bock. The instrument was also popular as a folk instrument. The harp was far lighter than other European harps used in royal courts, for ease of portability.
