We had some fun in the goodole' days...

I'm lucky enough to be able to take lessons from this excellent performer and teacher!

That looks like a luthier shop.

The Goodhues such a talented family. They are amazing!

Love you Pete! This is the first time I have had the pleasure to hear you play. Thank you.

Missing Cathy

Wow. I have an autoharp just like that. Bought it on eBay back in March. Fladmark. 1994. Hope I can get enough hours on the harp to sound this good.

Nice song Rick. I’m thinking back to when we both in Lindsay’s work shop on learning City of New Orleans. What great progress you have made. Now that I can play “City” i think back to that time. Al Robertson

I love this!! Well done folks!! ♥

Nice

Thank you! You’re great! Im buying my first one tomorrow and know nothing.

mike hudak is my grandfather. Thank you for sharing this video. It gave me a glimpse of seeing him play.

whatever year the Highwoods stringband had their reunion at Woodstown New Jersey, I was lucky enough to camp next Marty and Ivan Stiles. wow, what a great time that was. marty and Ivan were the best of buddys and two of the greatest masters of the autoharp. I am so happy that you put up this nice little medley of Martys playing. thanks for this memorial to a great autoharp player, and also the nicest person you would ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Do you still hold the Gather? I used to talk to George about the Gather, way back when he built my custom Orthey in the late '80s or so, and dreamed of going, but living in Utah, and raising five kids, etc, it was always out of reach. I wish I'd known about the virtual gather; what a joy it would have been to join with other 'harpers.

R.I.P.

Just replaced the same A string in this video. Passed it under the bar cover with a loop in the string. It crossed under another string while under the bar cover. Had to restart from the beginning- Ugh! Tedious work!

Very informative for us beginners. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. This is the first time for me for changing the wires and this video was just what I needed.! Thank you again.

Just utterly lovely!

Well done!

That's beautiful

Ray Choi can you also send me your polo club hat

Beautiful!

This is just beautiful. Gorgeous instruments.

What picks are those, Tom? Beautiful medley!

Beautiful.

A beautiful performance. I always enjoy their music.

Beautiful.

Very informative thank you guys!

Incredible. What a performance!

Lots of great stuff here. Thanks. I can see my errors and how to correct them.

My big kick from watching this is to see Cathy Britell's reaction as the piece progressed. Sitting with my back to her, I never knew this was going on.

Very nice Harvey!

best version of TTLS I've ever heard...

Is Donna really a preacher?

awesome! love this

Beautiful!

Beautifully played, Bill! I love the various textures you are able to bring out of your instrument.

This sounds great. Pure Happiness 😊

My autoharp is weird. It's an Oscar Schmidt and looks like the first one but all the strings are tied onto a long metal bar down into the slot

I know Pop Stone man is in the Country Music Hall Of Fame, but, I think the entire Stone man Family should be inducted.

I have a question...there are bluegrass fake books for guitar...banjo...fiddle...mandolin.....why on earth is there none for the autoharp????? This seriously needs to be remedied...

Thank you for making this video!

the tree horses of apocalypse

Is there a way I could get notations for this piece? So beautiful

Why don't you show changing a thick string across the top of the harp, in the first and lower second octave areas for a "continuous bridge", where the strings are much harder to control and wind fresh on the not so easy to get to , tuning pins. Show us (and give us tips), how you put them on, and wrap them properly, without causing "lap over" of the string while winding seeing they are more stiff, like spring steel and are at an angle at the bridge and Bridge rod. Those are the ones that are a real pain in the butt to change, while only requiring to change one string, because one broke, and replacement is need. The small thinner ones are easy to change, but those thick ones are a huge pain to change and replace, and get wrapped correctly. It seems that everyone that has a string change video on You Tube, choose only the small thin strings to change, and never show how to replace the thicker bass strings when they break, and require replacing. Now those thicker strings are a real pain in the butt to change, and wrap on peg properly, without overlapping previous wraps on the tuning peg, specially changing the inner row of strings, where you have next to no room to wind the new string properly, without having a cross-over in the wrapping.

as usual......Rockin'!!!

Wow! We were all so young! What a blast from the past….

Woo hoo!! What fun!!

This has helped me so much. I’ve restrung my autoharp wrong a few times and it’s led to the same strings snapping repeatedly. Pretty pricey mistake given how you can’t buy them individually in England. Feel like I’ve done it right this time, thanks to your instruction. Much appreciated.
