I have been thinking about this situation, I know, and cant help but wonder should someone who plays a harp be called a harper rather than a harpist?
Harpist sounds like that are some way to be intoxicated

Good question. The internet tells me “ A person who plays a pedal harp is called a "harpist"; a person who plays a folk-harp is called a "harper" or sometimes a "harpist"; either may be called a "harp-player", and the distinctions are not strict. |  |

that struck a chord, although if it was a Harpsichord it wouldn't be struck it would be plucked | |
