Thread Name: Autoharp conversion
Subject: RE: Autoharp conversion
Dear Foolstroupe,
At least you made me laugh! And thanks for the fingering tips. Actually, I do everything "wrong." I play on a table, and since I'm left-handed, I play chords with my right hand. And...I do play the accordion...so there!

I, too, could use Don's fingers. Actually, at this point, I'd like to use anyone's fingers, and certainly someone else's brain. But, for better or worse, I finally came up with a plan that seems to work (for me). It's a combination of Don's plan and one from Drew Smith (adapted...so undoubtedly it's musically incorrec)t. And, if it doesn't work I'm going to dump the Autoharp altogether, and play my accordion and bowed psaltery!

In the meantime I'm setting it up this way:

GM Bb Dm F Am C G7 G D7 D Am A E7 C7 Em.
