It shocked me too when I saw it. So I went to the RAE dictionary. "Harpa" is there as a synonym of "arpa"

in Spanish is helicon is not a harmonica it is an instrument for playing chamber music

Look here [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicon_(musical_instrument)]Wikipedia[/url]

The word in English is the same, helicon. (But of course, no accent.)

I didn't know either, but It has been in the DRAE with "h" since 1734.

yes, harmónico http://www.foreignword.com/Tools/dictsrch.htm commonly written armónica, same is right in spanish.

As for as I know, it is only written "armónica", and not "harmónico".
