Identify the Instrument

[leecocker]

Hi everyone,
There’s a popular song by Fleetwood Mac called Gypsy. I believe originally it appeared on the Mirage album, although it can also be found on their Greatest Hits. The songs centres around a simple major pentatonic riff & I’m trying to identify what the primary instrument is (panned slightly to the left) that plays it. Given where I have posted this question, it’s probably no secret what my first guess is.
So, debates about how the instrument was captured aside (direct or via sampler), I wondered what the individual views were of experienced harpists; how many of you would identify this instrument as a harp?
