Ireland
Since the Middle Ages, the harp has become the most popular musical instrument in Ireland. In the 12th century, most of the songs written by court poets were based on the harp; unfortunately, most of those song scores have been lost, and only some of the lyrics remain. By the 17th century, when the British ruled Ireland, the court poets gradually declined, but the harpists were still active in every corner. Another musical instrument is called the bagpipe, which is also very popular in Ireland, maybe because the celti people especially like to listen to the high and sharp sound!
