Harp
Harps and lyres are often confused


Harps and lyres are often confused. Lyres had a wooden crossbar between two wooden sides, with the strings attached to the crossbar, such as the one in this image. Harps had no crossbar, so the strings were stretched between the two sides. The instrument shown here is the nine-string lyre.
