Description of the autoharp@
Says "Lohengrin" to the left of the bars, under the strings, gold script on black.
There is a stave printed under the strings to the right of the bars - strings are numbered 1 to 20, from the D below middle C to 2 Bs above. (Bs are given as h/b, except for the top one, which is h). In addition, 6 bass strings (C,D,G,B,C). Some strings were replaced before it was given to me, so the bass notes aren't all as low as indicated on the stave. The six bars are extensively labelled - This is for interest, I know what ther are:
1,c-dur,do maj, A
2,d-sept, re-sept, B
3,g-dur, sol maj, C
I, e-moll, mi min, D
II, a-moll, la min, E
III, b-moll, si-min, F
Peering through the sound hole under the bars, I can see

Made in Germany
The harp is probably about 24 inches x 12 inches. I play it sitting on my knee, which is how my aunt showed me (except when she wanted it loud, when she would sit it on a table). I have a thumb-prick.
I'd appreciate suggestions on what's worth listening to. Thanks for all your help.
