介绍（中）	这把竖琴有两组弦，它们在中点附近交叉。一排琴弦有C大音阶的自然音，就像现代钢琴上的白色音符，而第二组琴弦有意外音或黑色音符。Greenway的设计是Pleyel&；19世纪末巴黎的Wolff公司，以及一种在不增加踏板的情况下解决管弦乐曲目中越来越多的半音音乐的方法。绿道竖琴的两列琴相距甚远，演奏起来要困难得多，而且它可能不是为管弦乐曲目而制作的（任何琴键的格里桑迪都不可能，但C是不可能的）。只有格林威的两把竖琴，都是交叉架线设计的，已知能幸存下来。关于这位建筑商，人们知之甚少，但据信他就是亨利·格林威，位于布鲁克林大西洋大道545号，是一名内战老兵，也是一名活跃于19世纪最后25年的钢琴修理工。
介绍（英）	This harp has two sets of strings that cross near their midpoint. One row of strings has the naturals for a C major scale, like white notes on a modern piano, while the second set of strings has the accidentals, or black notes. The design built by Greenway is an exaggerated version of a cross-strung model built by the Pleyel & Wolff Company of Paris in the late nineteenth century, and a way to address increasingly chromatic music in the orchestral repertoire without adding pedals. The greenway harp, with its two columns standing quite far apart, is much more difficult to play and it was probably not made for orchestral repertoire (glissandi in any key but C would be impossible). Only two harps by Greenway, both with the cross stringing design, are known to survive. Very little is known about this builder, but it is believed that he is Henry Greenway who was located at 545 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a Civil War veteran and a piano repairer active in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
