Edward Light | Harp Lute | British | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1815 British Harp lute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York - From the curators' comments: "The harplike pillar supports diatonically tuned bass strings to extend the range of the fretted strings. The pitch of the bass strings could be raised a semitone by finger-operated ring stops that work very much like pedals on a harp."
