A question about the harp?

Question:How well does the harp project? I know the viola and double bass do not project well, the violin and cello project very well, and trumpets and horns blast out sound like you wouldn't believe. How does the harp compare? I would think its projection is not so great, seeing as it's plucked, but I could be wrong.

The harp has a volume level comparable to the flute--not as loud as brasses or saxes or violins, but able to be heard throughout a concert hall without amplification.

It has a very good projections just like a piano. It has long strings for a reason and this helps the projection because the string vibrate longer.
