A spitzharfe (or arpanetta) is a musical string instrument popular in Italy and Germany in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.[1][2] Up to 90 centimetres tall,[2] it is designed to be placed on a table, and consists of two sets of strings - steel strings to produce the melody and brass strings for the accompaniment.[1] It is played by plucking with fingers, in a manner similar to the harp.[1]
