Thanks folks. Really appreciate it. I've just sent an e-mail to Autoharp Quarterly in hopes they can give me the info. (thanks Sorcha)

Claymore, Thanks. I've been re-configuring autoharps for about thirty years now, and in fact have a REALLY bizzare system now in use on my main harp, that allows me to play jazz chords and scales in any key. (has gotten me on several recording and commercial sessions as that "weird" autoharpist)

My problem (as I may have stated in a convaluted way in my original post) is I need George Orthey's PARTICULAR system of tuning a 36 (not 37) string harp to a C and F configuration. I'd already used his system on several harps for other performers and it worked BETTER than anything I'd come up with. I simply can't remember EXACTLY which strings were doubled. He based his tuning on certain harmonic overtones that might not appear logical at first glance but ended up being very practical.

Harpy, I'll P.M. you on this. Do you HAVE that particular issue of the mag? I don't have a fax, but all I need is the order of the strings from the bass up. Eg:

F,G,A,Bb,.......CC, DD, E, FF,.....etc. right to the high C (which may or may not be doubled in his system)

Thanks again.

Rick
