autoharpbob Autoharp - and advice - wanted (16) RE: Autoharp - and advice - wanted 10 Aug 10

Nathan has great advice, Cyberpluckers will sort you out. Failing that, for specific advice on UK autoharps, go to http://www.ukautoharps.org.uk or by all means PM me - I am the organiser for UK Autoharp Days, the next one of which is in Tewkesbury on Sept 4th, with Mike Fenton and Bob Fish amongst others.

I didn't know there were a lot of songs in Gm! Sounds though that you would need a chromatic harp - set up to play in as many keys as possible - and biased towards the flat keys - you would need Bb and Eb as well as Cm. This might need some fidllng with the standard chromatic layout - I tend to play diatonics now, so have lost touch with what is standard.The guy who will help you most is Mike Fenton - http://www.harperscraft.com/
- and there will be no problem buying a decent harp over here and customizing it to what you need.
