Famous harpists range from the biblical King David to physical comedian Harpo Marx; there's even an Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales. The most famous jazz harpist is Celso Duarte, and electric harp is increasingly found in experimental rock bands, perhaps most notably the Harp Twins, Camille and Kennerly Kitt.
