Thread Name: Tech: Autoharp advice
Subject: RE: Tech: Autoharp advice
Thanks Susan,
My last one was a rosen type, so definitely not wonderful, but I'm not musician enough to have noticed! However, I'm going to take the advice about the Chromaharp being too expensive. The seller reckons it will go without my buying it as 100 people are watching it, so my hope that he would haggle is not likely to be satisfied.
There are obviously a lot of people over here who have not read the advice on line about rosens, as they are prepared to pay quite a lot - at the last minute.
Leeds, which is where the Hopf is, is a bit far away, and not in the direction of anyone I need to visit.
I got rid of the old one before things happened which got me back to folk clubs, and also because I saw locals playing with the fingerpicking style, which I am too cack-handed to ever get the hang of. I have now got the the state where I don't care if people think just strumming and picking out the note of the tune at the end is a bit too incompetent.
