    Original Design
    This perfectly crafted autoharp features a spruce top with a black matte finished giving the autoharp the ability to produce a much louder sound. It also features a raised bridge that the strings rest upon.
    Incredible Strength
    The pin blocks in many of the finest autoharps consist of rock hard maple for extra strength. The pin blocks are laminated 10 ply rock maple pin blocks specially coated for extra strength to firmly hold the tuning pins in place where the strings are attached.
    The added strength of the laminated rock maple ensures that everything will stay in the right place. Multiple layers of maple laminations are cross-banded using a special high frequency, waterproof gluing process. Reversing the grain direction on each layer of lamination yields incredible strength and the high-frequency waterproof glue seals the laminations protecting the pin block from changes in the relative humidity.
    Tuning
    The Autoharp, like the piano, is a tempered scale, so the same strings are used in several chords, even when perfectly in tune in one chord may sound slightly sharp or flat in another. Over time as strings loosen, use fine-tuning to tighten so it can reach its limits. The first twang of a string is higher and the tone settles in after a second. Turn the tuner to 442 and attach the clip to the middle peg.
    Fine Tuning
    The fine tuning system does not replace the larger tuners at the top of the autoharp. The fine tuning system is a second set of tuners positioned on the bridge of the autoharp. The fine tuning system is used to make minute adjustments in the pitch of the strings. Once you have the string tuned to the right note, you can use the fine tuning system to get the note exactly in tune. This autoharp model comes with the fine tuning system pre-installed. To obtain your desired sound, just use the included Allen wrench and make any smaller tuning adjustments as needed.
