Thread Name: Help: Autoharps
Subject: Autoharps
Having struggled for many years to play the guitar without much success I have come to the conclusion that my fingers are just NOT guitar shaped. Bill Sables says I can play the autoharp and is quite adamant about that so I would like to try. I tend to sing in keys between D and F, my favourite being Eflat although since up to now I have always been unaccompanied I suppose that could vary a bit.
I will be picking Bill's brains when I next see him but would appreciate the help and advice of other mudcatters as to the best type to go for eg 15 bar or 21 bar and if any makes stand out as good value. I did see one in a shop that was a 12bar but that appeared to exclude my favourite key unless I'm mistaken.
Thanks
