The oldest recorded instance of the harp dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, though there are many harp-like instruments recognized throughout history. The lyre, known primarily from the Hebrew Bible, is a similar instrument, also having its strings parallel to its soundboard. The same Bible records that a young David soothed the terrors of King Saul by playing harp songs. Perhaps this was because to play harp music is a delicate and difficult venture, requiring use of all fingers except for the pinky, which is generally considered too small to reach the strings effectively.
