Like Don said, A's are loops, B's are balls and the appropriate page at ELDERLY INSTRUMENTS (www.elderly.com) is located under gear/strings/autoharp, or just Click Here.You can get on Elderly's mailing list if you request it when you order. A lot of us buy regularly from them and you'll find them to be easy and helpful folks to deal with, even by phone.
