History/Background
Daurdabla is also known as Uaithne or Coir Cethair Chuir. In Irish mythology, Daurdabla is the magical harp of the Celtic God Dagda. It could fly to its owner when sung to, and melodies played from the harp could instill great emotions, such as sadness, merriment, or even put people to sleep. It is described as richly ornamented and made of oak. Alternative names for the harp are Coir Cethair Chuir, meaning "Four Angled Music" or Uaithne, although that is actually the name of Dagda's harpist, not the harp itself. The source of confusion comes from this passage:
Come Daurdabla, apple-sweet murmurer
Come, Coir-cethair-chuir, four-angled frame of harmony,
Come summer, come winter,
Out of the mouths of harps and bags and pipes!
It is not clear whether the harp is actually named Daurdabla, or rather described as an instrument of sweet melodies. Daurdabla, Uaithne, and Coir Cethair Chuir are all acceptable modern names for the harp.
