This gives you an idea of what we sound like and hopefully we're more polished now. Whenever we get together though for practices or to sing for others, we enjoy ourselves

Hi I'm new to BlueSky (and don't do any other social media) so haven't checked my msgs.
We have a YouTube of us from when we just started - only a few months together... There are 8 singers now and the autoharp.

Quick reference chart for my 'harps.
My three autoharps. The Oscar Schmidt was my first 'harp. It is really heavy and clunky to play but actually was a good 'harp to learn on. My two luthier crafted 'harps are so much more of a pleasure to play! Gorgeous tone and resonance.
