Sorry Harpgirl and I know I am showing my butt and ignorance here. I once talked a guy into buying an autoharp because he didn't want to take the time to learn to play a guitar. Well, I played around with it and I thought it was too complicated for all the trouble it saved (make sense?) I saw folks (folkies) in the 60's play em' but not since then. Not trying to be insulting either, love you all, but I just haven't seen any!
