Go to Youtube and check out Hal Weeks Stalking the Wild Autoharp tutorial series. He has a tutorial about how to do this. There are many, many video tutorials on how to play, how to tune, just about anything you need to know. He also provides music lessons for a reasonable price. He's a great guy, will answer questions etc. Jo Ann Smith is another great resource on YouTube. I highly recommend them. Also there are several Autoharp groups on Facebook. 'AutoHarp' and 'Yes, I Can Play The Autoharp' are great groups. Both Jo Ann and Hal are members as well as many professional players and suppliers, such as Pete D'Aigle of 'D'Aigle Autoharps' located in Tacoma Washington USA.

You will be happy to have accessed these resources. Good Luck!!
