Some [[tool]]s in this game are so rare that it is quite a surprise to encounter them. The '''magic harp''' is an example.

A ''magic harp'' is a tonal [[musical instrument]], and one of the two harps. If it has any [[charge]]s left when applied, then it produces "very attractive music" which [[tame]]s [[monsters]] around [[you]] ([[music.c#line431]]). A magic harp with no charges left behaves as a normal wooden harp.  
 
 
[[You]] can play entire games of [[NetHack]] without ever encountering a [[harp]]. Yet if you do find a [[harp]], it is most probably a simple [[wooden harp]]. [[Apply]] it and nearby [[nymph]]s might become peaceful ([[music.c#line440]], [[music.c#line142]]). Upon discovering a [[harp]], it seems reasonable to try it with the next available nymph.

A magic harp is a tonal musical instrument, and one of the two harps. If it has any charges left when applied, then it produces "very attractive music" which tames monsters around you (music.c#line431). A magic harp with no charges left behaves as a normal wooden harp.
