when i ws young i inherited an ancient piano harp
off my great grandad.
love the chords.
When i was a lot older i often saw a disabled busker at camden market
playing mped up autoharp.. impressive performer.. wonder if he's still out playing..??

About 10 years ago i saw the Handsome Family at a gig in Camden..
Rennie played an ancient dark gothic autoharp
amped and miced up through a big brute vox ac30..

loved it..

since then..

I got 2 electric autoharps with factory fitted magnet bar pickups
and a spare bar pickup to fit in one of my other autoharps..

2 of my favourite old autoharps have gone mildewed
through neglect..
i fele really bad and guilty about that..
