The harp isn't used in every composition written for classical music ... a harp part has to exist for it to be used as part of the orchestral ensemble. Sometimes it is used as a solo instrument. Sometimes it is used to add color (ie. glissandi) to a composition. Some composers double the harp part in piano or other instruments.
The harp and guitar are both, sometimes used in the orchestra ( the harp more than the guitar ). The instrument known as the "harp-guitar" is a very rare hybrid instrument. Most of its repetoire is in solo pieces and chmber music. It is not a regular member of the symphony orchestra.
I think the Harp is bigger. I think it's more inconvenient to carry around anyway.
an organ is huge but not part of the orchestra is you want one in the orchestra then the piano
The harp is a stringed musical instrument. Seldom played by itself, it is a part of a full orchestra. The actor/comedian Harpo Marx was a well known player of the harp, hence his nickname.
