Harpo Marx (1888-1964) was a member of the vaudville and motion picture comedy group the Marx Brothers. He was a self-taught harp player, and employed an alternate technique of his own invention. In 1957 and 1958 he recorded two albums, Harpo in Hi-Fi and Harpo at Work. These consisted mostly of older standards like "Laura" with Harpo either playing solo, or backed by strings or a soft-jazz combo. The two albums were released as a single CD on the Collector's Choice label in 2000. <a href="http

Lobby card for Monkey Business (1931) with Chico (left) and Harpo (right) Arthur "Harpo" Marx (born Adolph Marx; November 23, 1888 – September 28, 1964) was an American comedian and harpist, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers. In contrast to the mainly verbal comedy of his brothers Groucho and Chico, Harpo's comic style was visual, being an example of vaudeville, clown and pantomime traditions. In all of his movie appearances, he wore a curly reddish blonde wig and did not speak, instead blowing a horn or whistling to communicate. Marx frequently employed props such as a horn cane constructed from a lead pipe, tape, and a bulbhorn.
Most of the Marx Brothers' stage and film appearances included a song performed by Harpo on the harp in his unique style, for example "When My Dreams Come True" in The Cocoanuts (1929) and "Alone" in A Night at the Opera (1935).
