Harp
Symbol Description
The instrument of Apollo, Orpheus, and even Achilles, the harp represents a bridge between heaven and earth. It might be a symbol of the tension in the strings striving for the supernatural world. In the Classical era, and thus the Renaissance, it is the musical instrument most proper to noble heroes, not the flute.
