Autoharp

I'm truly blessed with new toys this year! Ed Holden and his lovely wife Dot met up with me in the Norwich park at my gig and asked if I would like to play another one of his dulcimers! This one was also made of walnut had hummingbirds cut out for the sound holes. I sat my self right down on the curb and played an original I had composed. Lovely instrument tho not as loud as the one he gave me. Then he pulled me back to his car and opened an old case and there inside was an autoharp! I was really excited to see it as I used to have one years ago. I can't remember what I ever did with it but it was red. I probably traded it in for something else being a typical musician playing the trading game all the time. I can't remember all the different guitars I've had over the years but its been many! At any rate Ed said he would love it if I borrowed it as it is just sitting at his house collecting dust. The tuning bar is missing so I'll have to head up to Big Apple and see if this is something easy to get. I'm really looking forward to tuning this baby up and see she what she can do! It's an Airline Autoharp by Oscar Schmidt. It's gotta be pretty old.
