What is harp timbre?

The timbre of a harp is a rich, warm, and resonant sound that is produced by the vibration of the strings. The sound is characterized by its clarity and shimmering overtones, which are created by the harmonics of the strings. The harp's timbre is often described as being "angelic" or "ethereal," and it is often used in classical music and folk music. The harp's sound can be varied by changing the tension of the strings, the size and shape of the harp, and the materials used to make the strings and the soundboard.
