The ground harp, which exists exclusively in a small central section of Africa, recalls the springing snares of certain African hunters. A pit is covered with bark. Beside the pit a tall flexible rod is stuck into the earth and pulled way over by a string fastened from its end to the bark lid of the pit. The instrument is either struck or plucked, sometimes by several persons simultaneously. 4, record 1, English, - ground%20harp

Harps first appeared around 3000 B. C. [before Christ] in Mesopotamia and Iran. They were arched harps, probably developed from hunter's bows, and the body was made of one piece of wood. A thousand years, later, around 2000 B. C., a new type was conceived when two pieces of wood were joined at right angle, one drilled into the other. The result was the angular harp... Harp designers waited millennia before taking the next logical step : connecting the two extreme ends of the angular harp with a long rigid pillar. When they did,..., it became the frame harp(also known as the "pillar harp"), a more rigid structure that allows higher string tension and more strings. 2, record 3, English, - frame%20harp
