The Irish call their Harp the Clarsash. The harp symbolized the highest of refinement and excellence to medieval Gaelic culture. It represents the sublime beauty and grace. It was such a powerful symbol to the Irish that the waring Brits of 16th Century destroyed the instrument as a sign of triumphant power. Today the harp is the logo of Guinness beer.
