In this film, Harpo is playing a loom, which sounds nothing like a harp. The music was actually played on a concert grand harp and dubbed into this scene.

Beautifully played and a real fun one for a change. It’s amazing how they made that harp. And that’s a real American Indian flute. 🌷🌱

One thing I've always loved about the Marx Brothers movies is the musical performances by Chico & Harpo. Chico plays piano whimsically, at least one time without even looking at the keys, but still with incredible talent. Harpo, when he plays harp, stops being Harpo and the harp becomes his entire world - and again, with incredible talent.

ハーポ・マルクス主義！ あるいは、 グルーチョが象徴界で、ハーポが現実界で、チコがその間の、自我。

Brilliant beyond belief

Just wonderful

I have never heard a harp played this way. How beautiful Harpo I miss you

Wowee! Thanks, Fritz! for sharing this with me. It caused me to think how short (seconds--like TicToc) significant experience are for so many these days and how much longer (hour or so) they were in my daze (movie).

Questa gente ha una nobiltà d'animo indescrivibile

Wow! 👏👏👏👍

They all were such clever people... to give us music.. enjoy!!!

Best harp ever !!! ❤

Harpo did for the harp what the 2 Cellos duet have done for their instrument, but he did it decades earlier; making not-so-classy classical instruments cool.

And like his brother Chico,A very clever man

Fabulous, moving sound like no other. He was a genius.

Que Artistas!!❤️❤️❤️

this is my favorite time that Harpo played the harp in the marx brothers movies

They lived in a racist era, but tried to present other people more favourably than was the prevailing norm. Being NYC Jews who toured the south doing vaudeville in their early days made them aware and sympathetic to the culture's harsher side.

Go West is definitely one of their best films. Great musical numbers and very funny!

Song is "From The Land Of The Sky-Blue Water" (publ. 1909), which was a hit for Native American singer Tsianina Redfeather Blackstone, & later familiar as a jingle for Hamm's beer. Of course Harpo isn't really "playing" the weaving loom; in fact, all musical performances in movies in those days were recorded separately as audio & then the visuals were filmed miming along... This is what Harpo did in all the Marx Brothers movies, & in many cases his visual performance matches the audio so exactly that you'd swear he's playing it live before the camera, but no...

Debussy did not live in vain

Wow.

Part of the fun of a Marx Brothers movie was seeing the various plot devices the producers used to work Harpo's harp soli into the film.

Simply Beautiful

genio

It's wonderful

Use anything at your disposal to create magic. Or in Harpo's case, a harp.

Targeareon material for sure.

❤

Not only does he play flawlessly, they all learned to do it with choreographed and exaggerated hand movements. Even the hands are entertaining.

世界一有名なハーブ奏者だよね!

Arthur "Harpo"Marx often said that the audience saw Harpo clowning around but saw and heard Arthur playing.

There is absolutely nothing today, that can compare to Harpo's musical talent, and just how funny he could be. I have most of the Marx Brothers movies and I watch them. The best parts are when Harpo plays. He's top side now, playing for the Big Man,and chasing the odd Angel now and then.

Harpo was a great genius self taught to play the harp. He was wonderful pure comic genius a wonderful man with his wife and children

My favorite scene in the whole movie. Sounds so beautiful.

All of the music that Harpo played in all of his movies was him. Because it was layed over from the studio to the movie doesn't mean it wasn't Harpo. The man was talented

Vna vez + la velleza me deja sin palabras

💖

The level of skill.... just an Angel that walked the Earth. Sad I missed him in this life.

Never knew you could get such sounds from a "peace pipe".

If you appreciate Harpo's harp playing you might like Edmar Castaneda. There are numerous videos of him, but this is one example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZqVfGqnip1oras

I wish they would have made a full length movie of just Harpo and Chico showing their remarkable musical talents. That would have been something.

Beautiful

Now this is the Happy Hunting Ground!
