Keith said the koa autoharp he built for me in 2002 was the most beautiful he'd ever made, and I have to agree - it's the most beautiful I've ever seen or heard - a three key diatonic (A/D/G) which goes all the way down to a low D.

Here's a video of that koa autoharp, played by me on Rik Palieri's television show a couple years ago. The song is "Roustabout."

Thank you Keith - your instruments have allowed me to find depths in autoharps that I never would have with any others.
