The cross-strung harp or chromatic double harp is a multi-course harp that has two rows of strings which intersect without touching. While accidentals are played on the pedal harp via the pedals and on the lever harp with levers, the cross-strung harp features two rows so that each of the twelve semitones of the chromatic scale has its own string.
Bohemian harps come in two main varieties, those with levers, on the left hand side of the harp, to adjust the pitch of the strings, and those without. These hooks were used to raise the pitch of a string by a semitone , [ 15 ] [ 16 ] and were the forerunner of the semitone pedal on modernday pedal harps . [ 17 ]
In modern times, since approximately the 1940s, the arpa jarocha has been built in a larger scale, following the general pattern of the Western Mexican harps from Jalisco and Michoacán. One of the first recording artists of the genre, Andrés Huesca (1917-1957), actually used a Michoacán harp, due to its better volume for recording.
All harps have a neck, resonator, and strings, frame harps or triangular harps have a pillar at their long end to support the strings, while open harps, such as arch harps and bow harps, do not. Modern harps also vary in techniques used to extend the range and chromaticism of the strings (e.g., adding sharps and flats).
