Clàrsach (Scots Gaelic), Cláirseach (Middle Irish) are the Gaelic words for ‘a harp’. The word clarsach is used in Scottish English and the word cláirseach is used in Irish to refer to a variety of small Irish and Scottish harps.

The use of this word in English, and the varieties of harps that it describes, is very complex and often causes arguments or disagreements between different groups of harp-lovers.

The Irish form of the word is Cláirseach; this word has an overlapping but much smaller usage in English.

By and large the word Clàrsach in English, is equivalent to the term Irish harp, the former being preferred in Scottish contexts and the latter in Irish contexts.
