    Whats the closest existing harp like instrument to this, like the harps "that angels play". Im assuming this one is purely diatonic or something

    The medieval harp (left) looks close

            Take a look at the Finnish folk instrument, the Kantele. They tend to have a hollow body but otherwise pretty angelic stuff 😄

            Looking for 'zither' will probably yield more like this.
