Autoharp Accessories
for Serious Autoharpists
The autoharp
is not an easy instrument to go shopping for. Fortunately, I found
some great places to buy autoharp accessoires online from cases to
strings, tuners to tuning wrenches. If there's something missing,
please feel free to let me know, and I'll see if I can find a great
deal on 'em.
Autoharp Strings
- Music123 through Amazon.com : Full-set of autoharp strings at about 30% off the list price. No individual strings, but a good deal for your backup set of strings.
- Bob Lewis' Autoharp Works : He offers single strings too, they're just not easy to get to. Head to his website for further details.
- Elderly Instruments : Elderly sells single autoharp strings too for a lower price than Autoharp Works, but not if ye need them asap.
Autoharp Tuners
-
KORG - CA20 :
Chromatic guitar tuner. My tuner of choice since 1999. Low cost,
yet very effective. Currently what I use.

The tuner I'd like to own.

protects the 'harp from stripping holes too quickly.
