 | | It's a duet for the autoharp and the violin. | | | He read in some publication that the autoharp was the perfect instrument for someone who wanted to start making music immediately and who had no particular musical ability or background, so he purchased one. | | | I was going to do an autoharp album, and I decided that I didn't like any of the autoharp tunes. |

| | Harvey Reid Autoharp Class Handout |
| | They say that folk music is when folks play music, and I think the autoharp is the perfect instrument for folks. | | | I have a great friend who is a Ph.D. in music and a college professor, and he tried to learn autoharp, and he knew every chord and every melody note and every piece of data, and he tried to pick out songs that way. | | | For me the autoharp is a welcome refuge from playing guitar. |

| | CD Baby: AUTOHARP LEGACY: Autoharp Legacy - from celtic |
| | AUTOHARP LEGACY is a 3-CD set documenting the diversity of styles currently being performed on the autoharp, a multi-stringed acoustic instrument of American origin. | | | AUTOHARP LEGACY demonstrates a multitude of musical tastes by the performers, ranging anywhere from folk songs, old-time country ballads, bluegrass fiddle tunes, Irish jigs, and Swedish dance tunes, to jazz standards, gospel, blues, or Latin-flavored favorites. | | | It has a few examples of basic strummed autoharp accompaniment, but most of the autoharp is the more sophisticated melodic style, where the artist plucks out the song melody line as well. |

| | Autoharp: help for the perplexed |
| | The fact is that if you want to be able to pick out melodies and have a shot at playing fiddle tunes and complex melodies, you will need to find a layout that suits you. | | | My advice, however, is NOT to buy a new Oscar Schmidt autoharp unless you do so from a shop that really knows what it's doing in setting it up, such as Michigan's Elderly Instruments. | | | That means that it has all the notes in a scale on the piano, both white and black keys. |

| | After street-fiddling and playing old-time and bluegrass music for close to 8 years, he moved into his van in the late 1970's and began pursuing solo acoustic songs and instrumental music, primarily fingerstyle acoustic guitar and autoharp. | | | Yet he's also a veteran musician with a long list of studio and band credits, a strong flatpicker who has won the Beanblossom bluegrass guitar contest, a versatile and engaging singer, a powerful lyricist, prolific composer, arranger and songwriter, a solid mandolin and bouzouki player, and a seasoned performer and captivating entertainer. | | | Reid's skills and versatility on the guitar alone mark him as an important new voice in acoustic music. |

| | Oregon Daily Emerald - University of Oregon news and sports - Mirah's third album offers miraculous, unified sound |
| | The instrumentation gives the album its atmosphere, as with the autoharp on "We're Both So Sorry." The indie rock sound from previous albums is still intact, especially in "Jerusalem" and "The Light." | | | Still, Mirah's guitar shines through when it must; the power of her playing lies not in technical prowess, but in the connection to her lyrics. | | | The first track, "Nobody Has to Stay," serves up a melancholic string section to the haunting delivery of the lyrics, "Rest up in the gentle sway / Sister make a flower place / The mother father brother greys / Of river stones to keep her safe." The result is lithe and dreamy. |
