AEOLIAN HARP

The Aeolian Harp is a sounding-board on which are strung several gut strings of different thickness; these are tuned to the same note and give its various harmonics when made to vibrate by the wind. Its invention is ascribed to St Dunstan, but in its present form it is not thought to have existed before the 17th century.
