Description
The harp is a stringed musical instrument that has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard; the strings are plucked with the fingers. Harps have been known since antiquity in Asia, Africa and Europe, dating back at least as early as 3500 BC.
Harps vary globally in many ways. In terms of size, many smaller harps can be played on the lap, whereas larger harps like this one are quite heavy and rest on the floor. Different harps may use strings of catgut, nylon, metal, or some combination. While all harps have a neck, resonator, and strings, frame harps have a pillar at their long end to support the strings, while open harps, such as arch harps and bow harps, do not.
Entering Mansion Alcázar is as if one has traveled back in time to a traditional home that reflects the Republic of Ecuador’s architecture from the end of the XIX century. It is in the heart of Cuenca, Ecuador which has been selected as one of the few world cultural heritage cities.
The exquisite interior design, carefully chosen furniture, objects of art, and wonderful crystal chandeliers bring back the ambience of one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Ecuador.
