Question

Seckou Keita accompanies a player of this instrument, Catrin Finch, on a trilogy of fusion albums beginning with Clychau Dibon. This instrument provides the core melodic accompaniment of Venezuela's national joropo dance. Medieval variants (-5[1])of these instruments were made to (*) "bray" by the addition of wooden slats. The classical repertoire for this national instrument of Paraguay includes an E-flat major concerto by Reinhold Gliere and a concerto by Alberto Ginastera. Alan Stivell revived a Celtic variant of this instrument called a clairseach (“clahr-shuck”), which uses levers to play accidentals and was traditionally played by Welsh bards. Modern variants of this instrument use seven pedals to change key. For 10 points, name this instrument (-5[1])whose concert (15[1])grand version has 47 plucked strings. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: harp [accept Welsh harp or Irish harp or Celtic harp or telyn or clairseach (until read); accept arpa; accept cross-strung harp or double harp; accept bray harp or gothic harp]
