[musictlk] Responsse to George's Question

[Mary Donahue]

Hello George and everyone,

    An autoharp is a flat, rectangular instrument with strings and  chord 
buttons. It can contain 12, 15, or 21 chord buttons. Mine has three rows of 
seven chords. The top row are all major chords, the middle row is mostly 
chords such as F7, G7, A7, and so on, with two major chord buttons on the 
left, and the last row contains the minor chords. The autoharp also contains 
pegs to mount the tuning fork when it comes time to tune the strings. For 
the most partk, it stays in tune, but, like all instruments, it has to be 
tuned after carrying it somewhere. It sounds wonderful with guitars or 
piano.

    At any rate, I hope I answered your question.
