[musictlk] Help in tuning my new autoharp

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Tara,

I have told you off list how to do it by ear.  I assume you do 
not have a piano.  If the app doesn't work well, which you say it 
doesn't, then use your ear.  Pluck the c below the highest c, 
then the highest c.  Listen to them together, and turn the peg 
until you do not hear any beats.  You may have to pluck them 
together a few times until you get it right.  Pluck them hard so 
that they are loud enough to hear, and the sound lasts.

Blessings,

Linda

Subject: [musictlk] Help in tuning my new autoharp

Hi all! I just purchased a new autoharp.  If anyone is curious, 
it is an older style Oscar Schmidt 20 1C.  I think it was 
probably made in the 80s or 90s.  Anyway, I have tried to tune it 
using the Talking Tuner app.  All I have done so far is to get 
the  high C  on the thing from playing slightly flat to now 
playing a high B  that is sharp.  Any help would be great! The 
other problem I am running into, is that the Talking Tuner app 
does not always hear the autoharp.  Any suggestions on how to fix 
this? Thank you so much for any help! I am a bit stuck right now.
