This post indicates that the earliest source for the story of Serach bas Asher and the harp, wherein she notified Yakov that Yosef was still alive in a very subtle musical fashion, is a very late midrash known as the sefer hayashar which the author dates to the 16th century. I would like to know: Are there are any earlier sources for the story?
