Random note. One of my favorite instruments is the wire-strung Celtic harp. It was killed by several things. First of all it didn't include the sharps and the flats. Secondly it has a 10-30 second sustain. Because of those two factors it sounds better in the older tunings. Because of those two factors it sounds horrible playing more complex modern music.
A lot of the old Irish fiddle music was actually originally intended for the harp. If you want to know what it sounds like, I highly recommend Patrick Ball. http://www.amazon.com/Celtic-Harp-Vol-Turlough-OCarolan/dp/B...
(I don't know what tuning he is using. I strongly suspect equal temperment.)
