The Begena is a large, ten-stringed Ethiopian harp considered the most sacred instrument in Ethiopian Orthodox tradition. It is traditionally believed to be the instrument played by King David. Handcrafted from Wanza wood, hide and beeswax.

The Kirar (also spelled Krar) is a five or six-stringed Ethiopian lyre, traditionally made from wood, hide and horsehair. It is used in both secular Ethiopian music and religious ceremonies.

Why is the Begena called the Harp of King David?

The Begena is traditionally believed to be the harp referred to in the Biblical story of King David of Israel. Ethiopian tradition holds that the instrument's deep, meditative tones were played by David. The instrument is still used in Ethiopian Orthodox worship today.
