Holographic harps

Edo instruments

An Edo harp

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")

The Edo also played a small instrument that looks like a transparent harp. (TNG: "Justice")

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")
