There
is a growing community of UK autoharpers who are interested in playing,
attending workshops, meeting other players, and learning more about the
instrument. Founded
in 2001, UK Autoharps has drawn together the skills, interest and
enthusiasm of many individuals to ensure that a range of
autoharp-related activity continues to develop in this country. The
aim of UK Autoharps is to promote the knowledge of and interest in the
Autoharp and to help and encourage the development and playing skills
of all the members.
