Harpo Marx was a self-taught harpist who really played the harp in the Marx Brothers films.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Harpo Marx was a self-taught harpist who really played the harp in the Marx Brothers films?

Unclear. One reference work indicates Harpo Marx kept his own unique harp style despite some lessons, and a peer-reviewed article notes his music, including the harp, was heard in the Marx Brothers films. Neither source addresses whether he was entirely self-taught or whether he personally played the harp on screen.
