Re: [Harp-L] Harp name origins

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't want to give the impression that I'm sure the term "French Harp" came from the "French Harp" model. It's possible the term predates it. It's just what I think at this moment - a hypothesis, I suppose - that could change as I see new things and learn new stuff. I love the detective work - my uncle was chief of detectives and later police chief btw- and the first guy the cops finger ain't always the guy who goes to jail. Same with french harps.

I always thought the name French Harp was for the employment of the tongue, i.e. a French kiss uses tongue...
 
Thanks for the history and research.
