Subject: RE: Tech: Autoharp pads
Wow! Thanks again for all the input. Will be cutting blank pieces of felt to accomodate the relative minors as per Rich M's suggestion. As I don't use the black note keys I'll modify it by putting the F#m where the Eb currently resides and so on. Also, obtaining a 2nd one, tuning it 'off' by half-steps and using it for the 'black-note' keys may be an option. Has anyone tried the 'fine-tuners' and are they worth the added expense? I realize I'll have to move to a 'pro quality' instrument at some future point, but for now I'll work within the budget constraints I've got and will report back with my progress. Regardless, 'catters' willingness to offer suggestions is what makes this the best site on the web.
