We particularly recommend their excellent Guide
for 'Occasional Autoharpers'.

active. By kind permission of the author, Laurie Searle, the guide is
now hosted here. You're welcome to copy and use it. Click the link above to download it in pdf format)
Bob Lewis's AutoharpWorks
New and used
instruments, refurbishing, chord bars, supplies, accessories, online
Help, reconfiguration plans. For the best of technical information from
'Mr Technical' himself - and also a very fine player.
Drew Smith's Great
All-American Autoharp Emporium
Another very fine player (and one of nature's showmen, as you just
might possibly guess from the company name), Drew sells a wide range of
spares and accessories at keen prices. Also look for his useful 'Tips-
of- the- Day' on the Cyberpluckers,
about all aspects of playing and maintenance.
