I would really like to get a luthier build Autoharp, but I have some design requests. I would like a significantly deeper body for a large resonating chamber, as well as a false back to avoid dampening the back resonating surface. Thanks so much for watching.

Thank you for watching. I hope the video is useful.

I sometimes use some reverb while recording the KZfaq video to make the end result sound better and soften the attack of the picking. My recording setup here seems to have some noise reduction which kills the sustain and amplifies high end frequencies which is normally used to make the human voice stand out above background noise.

From my understanding, the Korean made ones were branded OS. I don't know about Chinese made ones. I bet someone like Hal Weeks would know.

I find that the need to tune the Autoharp usually only comes able when temperature and humidity shifts in the weather. Sometimes I can go two or three weeks and not need to tune up. If I am just practicing at home, I usually wont tune up. If I am going out to play a gig, jam or music club, I'll tune up. In stable weather, the instrument will hold its tuning decently well. I use a phone app named "Pro Guitar Tuner" by "ProGuitar". It works great but won't help you in noisy environments.

Thank you for the clarification. That's good information for your subscribers and myself to know @@MountainHomeJerrel I'm familiar with using phone apps for tuning. I have one on my phone as a back-up for tuning my Ukelele if the battery in my Snark dies on me. Great series. I look forward to viewing more as you continue to post them. (I am sorely tempted, but ATM I'd like to keep my focus on continuing to master the Uke. :-) )
