The arpa jarocha is a large wooden harp that is normally played in Mariachi groups. It has a wooden frame, a resonator, a flat soundboard, with 36 nylon strings. The harp is tuned diatonically over five octaves. Unlike other Mexican harps, the arpa jarocha has its sound holes located on the back of the soundboard instead of on the front. The arpa jarocha is one of the main instruments used in Mexican Mariachi folk ensembles. The arpat jarocha typically provides the main melodies, while other instruments such as the Mariachi guitar and the Requinto provide rhythms and counter-melodies.
