Good for Owners,

This review is from: Autoharp Owner's Manual (Spiral-bound)
Really good book for autoharp owners. Lots of interesting info in one concise spot. A little technical in spots but all in all a book most autoharp owners can make use of.

This review is from: Autoharp Owner's Manual (Spiral-bound)
This book is a compilation of articles from an autoharp publication. The articles have a variety of topics that help an autoharp owner tweak the 'harp to make it more conducive to personal playing.
There are a number of articles on how to re-felt, how to re-tune, how to play to prevent RSI. I found it particularly useful to change my autoharp to diatonic tuning. It's the "Chilton's" for Autoharp. There are even plans for making an autoharp, lots of theory and suggestions. A really fun book for autoharp enthusiasts. It's not really a "how to play" book. It's aimed more at heavy users.

This review is from: Autoharp Owner's Manual (Spiral-bound)
I've been plunking on my autoharp for about fifteen years. It is one of the best ways to make music when you don't have the time nor talents to go ahead and learn guitar or some other stringed instrument.
Now my autoharp is beginning to need some repair. Maybe new strings, or even re-felting, and that is expesive. The solution? Autoharp Owner's Manuel. This great manuel gives detailed instructions on just about every thing you might want to know about your autoharp. History, how to build one, tuning, restringing, refelting, different kinds of harp, and much, much more. It has links in it to web sites that let you get in touch with other autoharp plunkers, and professionals. I recomend this product to anyone that has an interest in the autoharp.
