The harp is an ancient stringed Earth musical instrument.

During the late 2360s Commander William T. Riker kept a small holographic simulation of two women playing harp-like instruments in his quarters. When he needed to relax, he would turn on the hologram and listen to the music. (TNG: "Haven")

While serving as captain of the USS Rutledge in the mid-24th century, Benjamin Maxwell enjoyed a drinking song with lyrics that included "The minstrel boy to the war has gone / In the ranks of death you will find him / His father's sword he hath girded on / And his wild harp slung behind him." (TNG: "The Wounded")

Other cultures also have harp or harp-like musical instruments. The Edo also played a small instrument that looks like a transparent harp. A Bajoran variation includes bells connected to the harp strings. (TNG: "Justice") Additionally, harp-like lutes are found in many cultures and include the Vulcan lute, the Bajoran lute, and the Risian lute.
