The frame of the piano that the strings are attached to is actually called the "Harp" of the piano. Many old honkey-tonk pianos get their bell or brassy tone from the cast metal construction of their harp.
Had a bunch of celtic harp playing friends. Even the larger ones are not hugely heavy, (actually no more cumbersome than a cello for most of them) and have known harp players that love to play along streams & rivers... maybe part of that soothing the savage beast quality of the harp!
