Thread Name: Some Autoharp Questions
Subject: RE: Some Autoharp Questions
As to amplification, a mic and an electric pickup give a totally different sound. Not saying which one is better-- I use pickup but then I songlead with mine, sometimes solo, in large spaces. The pickup sure is costly tho. It slides under the chord bars-- a long magnetic strip. Mine is amped through an acoustic Crate BTW, nice warm, full tone. If you want a pickup, look for a cheap Ebay harp with pickup, and scavenge parts.
