To play the harp/ Tocar el arpa?

I looked up the word for the instrument 'harp', 'arpa' came up. And it also said: Tocar el arpa -> to be a thief.
Now I am wondering how to say that I am playing the harp as in playing the instrument. Playing an instrument I have to use "tocar", but if I would say, "Yo toco el arpa", wouldn't it mean then that I am a thief?

No, "Tocar el arpa" es justamente lo que tu crees que significa. Está bien traducido y no significa que eres un ladrón u otra cosa.
No, You're right, "Tocar el arpa" it's exactly "To play the harp". Tha translation is good and not means that you are a thief or something else.
