"12th is music is 11 fifths above the harp key. 12
fifths, and you're back
to where you started...it is a circle after all. :) 11

actually 1 fifth below also," 

not true. 11 5ths above (or, 12 position) is really a
FOURTH below the key of the harp. i don't know why
this is, but if you are moving clockwise, the notes go
up one FIFTH at a time. if you are moving
COUNTERclockwise, they go down a FOURTH at a time. (or
maybe it's up, i don't know up from down, but i know a
5th from a 4th... ;)
