Irish Harp - Irish Harp

Japanese: アイリッシュ・ハープ - アイリッシュハープ
Irish Harp - Irish Harp
A type of stringed instrument. Originally it referred to the Irish harp, and was widely used before the development of the modern harp. This instrument existed around the 14th century, but the tradition later died out and it was restored in Dublin in the early 19th century. It differs from earlier instruments in that it produces semitones with a manual lever and that the strings are made of gut (sheep intestine) instead of metal, but it later became popular under the name Irish harp. Today, the term generally refers to this new instrument, and it is used in Japan mainly for beginners.

Japanese:
弦鳴楽器の一種。元来アイルランドのハープをいい,近代ハープが発達する以前は広く用いられた。14世紀ころには存在したこの楽器はのちに伝統が途絶え,19世紀はじめのダブリンで復元。手動式レバーにより半音が得られる点,弦が金属からガット(羊腸)に変えられた点がかつての楽器と異なるが,その後アイリッシュ・ハープの名で普及した。今日では一般にこの新しい楽器をさし,日本でも主として初心者用に用いられている。
