One more word on Tacle Harps

At the risk of (re)starting a semantics debate, I'd like to point out that
all of the PoliTacle harps I've seen/heard were not the sort of triangular
frame harps most of us play but were either:
Aeolian PoliTacle harps (i.e. powered by wind)
or
Lyres (as in "bring me a small lyre"")

Also, how about the BetanTacle harp: strung with nylon monofilament, with
lead toggles, and metal sharping hooks. Very nice, as it's waterproof
(even floats), but it does smell a little odd...
(and, of course, it's perfect for playing reels...)
