What a fantastic tune, wonderful! I don't play Autoharp but am pretty sure I'll be buying one soon. I'm going to guess from the intensity of the sound that this is tuned to a scale and not chromatic? All the best!
Ahhhh... and I notice (with delight) that you are not playing with picks. I keep trying to use them, but I always end up throwing them off and playing with my fingers. Seriously, you are so good on 'harp AND guitar.
Ah! How refreshing to listen/watch a YouTube video by someone that knows how to record SOUND. Are you using a stereo microphone? Those long, slender fingers of yours certainly are an asset. That harp sounds lovely. Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, but are you wearing the headphones so you can hear yourself, or .... ? Loved this. You are great!
I use an AKG C1000s mic which isn't a stereo mic. But I run it through a little mixer which adds reverb and then I do a little post production procecssing in Cakewalk Sonar which produces the stereo sound. I used the phones with this to test the sound only and never bothered to take them off.
Hey Lem! OMG it's so good to find you again! This is such a lovely and endearing song! I happen to love the auto harp. Many Blessings to you and yours! I have missed you my friend.
beautiful playing, my brothers hands looks just like yours and he plays guitar for about 11 or 12 years. how is this instrument called? :) bye keep this up
Well, I didn't have to wait long, huh? Okay, first I was jealous of your 9 bar autoharp, then you go out and get a 21 bar! This reminds me of sitting in my Grandparents home when I was a boy. Their walls were lined with musical instuments of all sorts. Inevitably someone would find the autoharp and begin strumming. This is such a peaceful, reassuring piece. It sounds Appalachian. Your sound quality is always so pure, too. A great 1st solo and a wonderful listen, Will! ~Jon
My old neighbour had something like this, but it was played laying on a table and with a pick-like thingamajig.
I was thinking of you today while getting a facial. The girl put on this totally muzak music and thought it would be relaxing for me, but I would much rather have put on some of your guitar music! I think I will need to pay for another CD and burn it for her to have in the shop! :-)

I hope you will record more autoharp music. It is the most beautiful sound on earth, and you do it so well.
