**Harpe à pédales simples** is a French term that translates to "harp with single-action pedals" in English. It refers to a type of harp that is equipped with a pedal mechanism that allows the player to change the pitch of the strings. The pedal mechanism in this type of harp is simpler compared to the double-action pedal mechanism found in modern concert harps. The harpist can use the pedals to engage different mechanisms that alter the pitch of the strings, enabling them to play different notes and create a wider range of musical possibilities.
Another French term for the modern harp that is used in the symphony orchestra.
