What is the difference between a celtic harp and a orchestral harp?

The celtic harp is smaller in scale (around 23 strings) than the orchestral harp (39 to 47 strings). The orchestral harp is a pedal harp and the celtic being a non-pedal harp. The celtic harp gives off a bell like tone while the pedal harp has a warm, rich, woody tone.
