Nobody has ever played autoharp quite like Kilby Snow. Technically, he's doing it wrong by strumming with his left hand below the chord bars, and playing chords with his right, but if you can make it sound this good ...

I love musicians who "do it wrong", yet sound amazing. Sonny Terry, for example: played the harmonica *upside down*
Nice video on Peertube

Catherine O’Hara & Eugene Levy – A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow
https://wgom.org/2026/03/03/catherine-ohara-eugene-levy-a-kiss-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow/At our daughters last concert I got to finally see her, new to her, autoharp.
In her own words: "Last but not least, I have a new autoharp. It's beautiful, and it was given to me by the inventor of the prizim system herself, Loren Crowley."

So I helped my daughter repair her autoharp magnetic pickup yesterday. https://ottawa.place/@Dianora/114706906788138876
It appears the bobbin with the fine wire was only glued to the metal shield and when it let go, it ripped some wires as it shifted. Not impressed. There are a couple of holes in the plastic bobbin I think if I can fix this I'd want something on the metal part protruding through those holes. Can't go through the metal since that is on the bridge of the autoharp.

Anyone who can tune an #Autoharp by ear is a super powered mutant. I will not be taking questions at this time.
So where would one buy auto harp strings in Canada or Europe?
It used to be easy before Ottawa Folklore centre closed. :(
(No I don’t play it but my daughter does)
(Edit) Oh Long and McQuade have them.
