Trying out my new d'Aigle harp. It's a pentatonic harp, but I haven't figured that part out yet. My wife bought it for me at the Arizona Autoharp Festival, in Phoenix, Arizona two weeks ago.
Homer Welty designed this autoharp to be played on a table. 54" long, and 17 1/2" wide, it hangs over my folding table. It is tuned to just intonation. I don't know what that means, other than it has a beautiful, haunting sound. I have some other harps by Homer, who passed on last year, and I will get them on soon. I am playing "Down in the Valley"
This is a good example of what is called, "open noting", caused by picking out notes while the chord bars are up, instead of down. Watch the fingers on the buttons.
