Harp lute information


Georg Henry Harlow: Kitty Stephens (1794-1882) with a harp lute

The harp lute, or dital harp, is a musical instrument that combines features of harp and lute and to increase its compass of the latter. It was invented in 1795 by Edward Light,[1] (though an earlier form is shown in the "Garden of Earthly Delights" (~1500) by Hieronymus Bosch).
