Folklorik music

Last night we went to see Carlos Orozco, a Venezuela harp player. Most impressive... We discussed whether he was playing the high notes with his left hand and the low notes with the right because he is a lefty, or whether all harpist play like that... P brough up that he is a leftie, which is an advantage in many sports... We compared the harp with the piano. A asked what type of instrument the piano is. I thought a string instrument, but need to check Wikipedia.
