Harp



The Harp is a Hardmode crafting material, used only to craft the Magical Harp. While the Harp can be used itself, it has no functional use, and only makes sounds. It is sold by the Wizard for each.

When used, the Harp generates harp sounds. The sound's pitch is determined by the distance between the center of the character and the point clicked. Clicking the center of the character plays middle C, while clicking at a distance of at least that of the top or bottom of the screen plays C6 (two octaves above middle C). The smallest interval between notes the harp can play is a whole tone, or two semitones. A difference of 1/24 of the screen height equals an interval of a whole tone. Since the whole-tone scale is not commonly used, most well known tunes cannot be played. Only the first four notes (C, D, E, F#) are in the same key (G major / E minor) as the guitars. The Harp and the Whoopie Cushion have similar effects, although the Whoopie Cushion cannot change pitch.
