The pedal harp (also known as the concert harp) is a large and technically modern harp, designed primarily for art music and may be played either solo, as part of a chamber ensemble, or in an orchestra. It typically has a range of six and a half octaves (47 strings), weighs about 36 kilograms (80 lb), is about 1.85 metres (6 ft 1 in) high, has a depth of 1 metre (3 ft 3 in), and is 55 centimetres (1 ft 10 in) wide at the bass end of the soundboard. The notes range from the C three octaves below middle C to three and a half octaves above, usually ending on G. Using octave designations, the range is C1 to G7. At least one manufacturer gives the harp a 48th string, a high A (A7) giving the instrument a range of C1 to A7.

The role of the pedals in this type of harp is to alter the pitch of the strings, so that - unlike early kinds of harp - the pedal harp can easily play works written in any key. This is particularly important in the harmonically complex music of the Romantic period and later 20th-century classical music. Nonetheless the two lowest strings, C1 and D1, are not affected by the pedal mechanism (i.e. their tuning is not affected by the position of, respectively, the C and D pedals). They must be tuned manually in advance for the whole piece (or section of a piece).
