+Harps have seven strings per octave that may be sounded at the natural,
 flattened, or sharpened pitch. In lever harps, each string is adjusted
 individually, but in pedal harps every string with the same pitch name
 is controlled by a single pedal. From the player's left to right, the
 pedals are D, C, and B on the left and E, F, G, and A on the right.
