An aeolian harp (or æolian harp or wind harp) is a musical instrument that is "played" by the wind. It is named for Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind.The traditional aeolian harp is essentially a wooden box including a sounding board, with strings stretched lengthwise across two bridges. It is placed in a slightly opened window where the wind can blow across the strings to produce sounds. The strings can be made of different materials (or thicknesses) and all be tuned to the same note, or identical strings can be tuned to different notes.
And here is a clip, by Sarah Deere "Jones Celtic and Aeolian Harp"

I wish I can have one so that I will know what it is made of and might make my own one to add it to my musical instruments collections.
Awesome instrument, great to listen too.
Its nice to see this kind of harp because its a rare opportunity to actually see this kind of thing.
Wow!! That harp would definitely enrich many stringed instrument collections. The sound also is amazing. I'm glad I found this post.

There's a stupid band named viagra online that I found on the internet, they play self-created instruments, most of them, stupid as their band's name, but there's a song called "Air" where they use this instrument. Great post dude.
