Although depicted with his signature bicycle horn, Harpo Marx musical talents do not end there. The reason why he is screen name was Harpo was because of his ablilty to play the harp.(video will open new window)

Harpo was not above adding a little play time with the harp either as seen from this clip from the 1931 movie Monkey Business.(video will open new window)

His recording credits include one album of harp music for RCA Victor (Harp by Harpo, 1952) and two for Mercury Records (Harpo in Hi-Fi, 1957; Harpo at Work, 1958).
