A magic harp is a type of magical musical instrument that appears in NetHack. It is tonal and made of wood, and appears as just a harp when unidentified.
Generation
Magic harps are created with 1–8 charges.[1]
Description
Applying a magic harp with charges produces "very attractive music" that tames monsters around you and exercises your dexterity.[2] A magic harp with no charges left behaves as a normal wooden harp, exercising dexterity and pacifying nearby nymphs with a dexterity-based chance.[3][4] The radius of effect for a charged magic harp depends on your experience level:

.........
Mouse over to see the minimum experience level required for the effect of a magic harp to affect that square. Red corresponds to levels 1-9, blue to XL 10-19, and green to XL 20-29.
The magic harp can be charged an unlimited number of times; it gains 1d4 charges with an uncursed scroll of charging, or 2d4 with a blessed scroll, and can hold a maximum of 20 charges.[5]
Strategy
The magic harp is a valuable tool for taming and pacifying monsters, potentially allowing you to save magic marker ink on writing the scroll of taming. It can also be easily distinguished from a wooden harp by playing one or the other, especially near a monster. However, its range pales in comparison to reading the scroll while confused, and is further dependent on your experience level.
As a tonal instrument, a magic harp can also be used to play the passtune to enter the Castle.
History
The magic harp first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
