General Science / Re: Why are harps that shape?

I can only think of 2 reasons , 1st one has been explained - the shape is to produce different tones when different stings are striked , 2nd reason is to have a shape strong enough to keep the whole structure intact , considering the total amount of force produced from the tight tension strings or metal wires. If the structure somehow changes , the instrument will be off key.
