Removal of Nordic Sources

The nordic harp as seen Beowulf was a lyer as seen in surviving instruments at the sutton hoo burial. These musical instruments was not a triangular harp and the word harpa in old nordic means to strum not related to a triangular instrument. What you say is valid in the Lyre pages not here. THe first depiction ie evidence of a nordic triangular harp occurs with Gunner playing the harp in the 12th century or in Uvdal kirke, Numedal, Norway. 13th possibly the 14th century.
