[Bern52hard]

what are the autoharps worth?

[bobeileen1]

@Bern52hard I'm thinking between $350. and 400. dollars for a new one. You may be able to find a used one.

[Bern52hard]

thanks.... reminders of an era that is fast vanishing!

[bobeileen1]

@Bern52hard Your welcome. All we can do is make an attempt to keep this music known. bobh

Thanks very much.

[autoharpin]

Nice. Tell me about the piano. I may have the cousin here in my house ---- looks very similar. I know mine was made in late 1800's. Do you know the history of yours?? Show it a bit more in next video......thanks from a couple of autoharp players.......

[bobeileen1]

Hello autoharp players, We paid $350.00 for our piano. It's OK but needs work. It was built in 1905 by Laffargue & Co. New York. It's a cabinet grand. Tone is very good. BH

[parrotshake]

Fantastic, thank you both.

[bobeileen1]

We are very happy you enjoyed this song. Thanks for your message!

[bobeileen1]

That was really great to Hear! Makes us feel good about our music.

[jqfs]

A left-handed Banjo Player, I love it. I just bought an Autoharp. I have always liked them and figured it was time to learn to play one. You guys are cool, keep on playing.

[melodykentucky]

I loved it!!

[bobeileen1]

That's a nice old song. Thanks very much!! The tenor banjo was homemade too.  THE LION OF JUDAH SHALL BREAK EVERY CHAIN.

[Scarlett4Zanzibar]

You two are SO great! This is so cute. The lady's deadpan expression adds to the entertainment! Well done! Thanks for posting this! ;)

[bobeileen1]

Really glad you enjoyed this!! A couple of folks have said we need to smile. Something for us to work on! THANKS VERY MUCH.

[qchordbill]

Your music makes me smile! You should too. Anybody making a sound that great should be grinning ear to ear.

[bobeileen1]

Really glad you liked the song and thanks for the good advise. Will keep working on it!!

[baasting]

This is just great! I love it!

[bobeileen1]

Your comment makes us feel very good!!

We will keep trying. Thanks. We love the Carter Family too. You have some great videos on your page.

[baasting]

Thanks to you! I'm a huge Carter Family fan, and I saw your other video, Wildwood Flower. It's amazing! Your music makes me feel good! Thanks!

[tarmenmin]

Well done;) Beautiful!

[bobeileen1]

Thanks very much! I listened to your banjo playing and was amazed. My Dad use to play that style years ago. It must take lots of practice to learn all those chord positions.

[bobeileen1]

Thanks very much for your kind remarks! I listened to your performance of SILENT NIGHT and thought it was excellent. On Saturday evenings we go to THE OLD COUNTRY CHURCH in Denver. After the service we join all the music players downstairs for a jam.. We play and sing mostly gospel and some folk music, very much like the two of you. Great to hear from you. YouTube: bobeileen1. Bob Hammell

[kdl940]

Very Nice! I like to hear you play. I also play the autoharp. Lois/The Gospel & Folk Weather Girls.

[bobeileen1]

Sure glad you enjoyed Rosin The Bow. We like the old songs and especially gospel music. I watched several of your videos and truly enjoyed them!! How do you tune the banjo? It sounds some what like mountain dulcimer tuning but can't be sure. It sounds great.

[kdl940]

Very Nice...keep up the good music. I also play the autoharp. My partner plays variious instruments including the Mt. Dulcimer. If you get a chance...check out our site...The Gospel & Folk Weather Girls. Lois

[BoxCubeSquare]

Cute.

[bobeileen1]

Thanks.

[autoharpman]

when are you goig to play wildwood flower?were did you get your autoharp?

[bobeileen1]

Ever since you mentioned the song we have been practicing Wildwood Flower. Hope to have it soon. This autoharp was purchased at Sears in 1976. I don't think they sell them any more.

[BanjoBoog]

Excellent guys 5*

Cheers,

BB

[bobeileen1]

Thanks for the great encouragment BB! We'll keep practicing. Your stuff is fantastic. Bob

[harleyhawgn]

Excellent and 5's here for sure. I sure do enjoy the old southern gospel tunes that you do, and would love to hear more. THANKS,C.W.

[bobeileen1]

We appreciate your encouragement very much C.W. Southern gospel music is really great and we will keep working on more.

Bob&Eileen

[locke6206]

Thank you so much for sharing! Love your music and would definately like to hear some of the Civil War songs you play as well. Perhaps the Southern Wagon??

[bobeileen1]

Thanks for your nice comments. I would really enjoy learning more Civil War songs. The PBS Civil War documentary a few years ago was great.

[sherrilynn115]

Well hello there you two!!  Sounds great!! Eileen, it looks as though you and I have the same Autoharp!! So nice to meet you!!

[bobeileen1]

Howdy Sherrilynn, I looked at your beautiful sounding harp and it does look much like Eileens! Glad you enjoyed the video. We do mostly gospel, folk, and Civil War stuff. We play with The Old Country Church jam session every Saturday evening. Thanks again. Bob Hammell, Denver CO.

[Pigglies]

Very nice! Beautiful music, great duet!

[bobeileen1]

Thanks very much. We hope to learn more songs to post.
